Activities
The Scientist Professional Advisory
Committee (SciPAC) established the Scientist of the Year
Awards in 1995 to recognize Commissioned Officers in the
Scientist Category whose professional career and work
performance have resulted in significant contributions to
the health of the Nation and to the mission of the U.S.
Public Health Service (PHS). One award recognizes the career
achievement of a senior-level Officer, and one is to
acknowledge the contributions of a junior-level Officer. In
the past, the Surgeon General on behalf of the SciPAC has
presented the awards at the national meeting of the
Commissioned Officers Association (COA). A committee
composed of senior-level Scientist Officers generally makes
the selection of the award recipients. Recipients of the
awards receive a plaque signed by the Surgeon General and
the Chief Scientist Officer (CSO), and a special letter of
recognition from the SciPAC.
Because there is no means by which the SciPAC is able to directly notify supervisors of the
availability of these awards, scientist officers are
encouraged to ask their supervisors to consider nominating
them for these awards.
