Individual Awards: Lifetime, Researcher, Emerging Researcher and Management
Four awards for individuals for various fields of activity relating to science, engineering, technology (SET) and innovation, and/or research and its outputs. These are all made to individuals based in South Africa (SA), and who are South Africans or permanent residents. This could include related SET and innovation management activities necessary for the successful development and diffusion of new or improved products/services.
In most cases the period of research would commence with the attainment of a PhD but can also be considered to have started with the research towards that degree.
Completion of a PhD degree is however not of itself a pre-requisite for a nomination for these awards, but is intended to provide a benchmark for the assessment. Should there be extraordinary circumstances in the assessment of the appropriate period, the form provides for a suitable motivation in this regard to be provided.
a.
Lifetime Award – contribution by an individual over 15 years or more
b.
TW
Kambule-NSTF Researcher Award – contribution through research
and its outputs over a period from 6 years up to 15 years of research work from
the commencement of the research career, predominantly in SA
c.
TW
Kambule-NSTF Emerging Researchers Awards: – contribution
through research and its outputs over a period of up to 6 years of research work
from the commencement of the research career, predominantly in SA,
d. Management Award – contribution of SET and innovation and related activities over the last 5-10 years
There are no special criteria.
However particularly under a) Lifetime Award or b) Researcher Award, it is
possible that the career covers different parcels of work/projects or
occupations or themes. It is suggested that in this case the career be
segmented into relevant periods or themes and that each period or theme be
dealt with under each criterion albeit in some cases in lesser detail or not at
all.
The Management Award is for a contribution through management of SET and innovation and related activities, other than the research itself, over the last 5-10 years.
It includes all other contributions that are often necessary for the successful development and diffusion of new or improved products, processes or services such as:
