HPS Science Awards

The Health Physics Society (HPS) offers two awards annually: the Geoffrey G. Eichholz Outstanding Science Teacher Award and the Student Science Award. The Science Teacher Award allows us to honor teachers (K–12) who have made significant contributions to educating students in topics related to radiation safety. The Student Science Award recognizes the contributions of students in grades 6–12 to the understanding of the application of radiation and its impact on the environment and health. Both awards have monetary compensation. As teachers and educators, you are in the best position to help us identify individuals deserving of these awards. Contact either the chair of the HPS Science Support Committee or the chair of the HPS Awards Committee for additional details.
