ADJUDICATION
The awards are made to an individual or team or organisation (as applicable) for sustained work over a period of time, and not just for their outputs.
ELIGIBILITY
NOTE 1
a. In regard to a new nomination for a prior winner of any of the Lifetime, Researcher, Emerging Researcher or Management categories, the period of new work should have been completed since the prior award i.e. as is appropriate for the new nomination, whilst the previous work recognised in the prior award should be discounted.
b. In regard to a winner in the Engineering Research Capacity Development category, the award recognises the merit of the nominee’s work in addition to the capacity development achieved. Thus a further nomination in other categories should discount the work considered for the previous award and be appropriate for the new award.
c. In regard to winners of the Data for Research category, this is regarded as a standalone award; nevertheless, where the nature of the contribution previously awarded included the collection of data, should a nomination in another category be considered at some stage, the original collection would have to be discounted.
d. Previous winners of the Innovation category, must simply base any further nomination on new work.
e. A previous winner of the Communication category can submit a later nomination in this and other categories but should then discount their communication work on which the earlier winning award was based.
f. Where a winner is included in a team which forms the subject of another nomination in the same year or a later year, the nominator must take deliberate and explicit steps to exclude the work which is to be/was recognised in the award to the individual winner.
