Description
Funded by the TMS Foundation, this competitive award recognizes emerging faculty whose accomplishments have advanced their academic institutions and who can broaden the technological profile of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS). It provides meeting participation resources, technical support, and guidance for developing new programming rather than a research project budget. Faculty interested in either traditional or nontraditional TMS programming topics are encouraged to apply.
Recipients give a broad-based, nontechnical presentation at the next TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition and organize a symposium at the following year’s meeting. The program aims to engage faculty in long-term TMS participation, support professional networking, and introduce relevant scientific and technological topics. It values innovation, institutional contributions, leadership, mentoring, interdisciplinary collaboration, and student engagement.
