How to nominate

Guidelines

• Nominations will be received for candidates whose highest research qualification, normally (but not necessarily) a PhD, was within 10 years preceding 30 June in the year of the award, from the date of meeting the requirements for the degree. The eligibility period may be extended under the following scenarios:

  · Extended sickness leave or part-time employment as a result of ongoing childcare or other care giving responsibilities.

  · Eligibility may also be extended to take into account any career interruptions experienced due to being the primary caregiver for young children born since their PhD was awarded. If the applicant is the primary caregiver of a dependent child, the applicant is able to extend the period of eligibility by two years per child. The extension of two years per dependent child is inclusive of any periods of parental leave. There is no maximum identified.

  Eligibility extensions must be approved by the Academy Executive Officer.

  Note that the nominee must be undertaking substantive and independent research for the first time in their career.
• Parental and other forms of leave can be deducted from the 10-year post-qualification time limit.
• The prime criterion for the award will be consideration of work arising out of research carried out in New Zealand, subsequent to the award of the highest research qualification.
• We will consider a wide range of research outputs. For an article(s), please list all authors and give its full title and where it was published. There may be a case for considering a publication which has not been submitted to the traditional peer review process before the publication. With such an article please submit an explanation of the review process to which its content has been subjected.
• If an article is co-authored a clear statement should be made of the candidate’s contribution to the research described therein, and the contribution of other authors. An article “in preparation” or “submitted” will not be considered; however, an article “in press” for which page proofs are available will be considered.

Please also review general criteria that apply to all Royal Society Te Apārangi medals and awards.
