New this year, the SAEM Awards Committee has created a standardized letter template for you to use when creating your nomination packet.

The Awards Committee is committed to an inclusive process of granting awards, reflecting the full spectrum of diversity of our membership. We encourage you to nominate a diverse pool of candidates for all SAEM awards.
Selection Process
Nominees that are submitted will be reviewed by the Awards Committee and selected on guidelines shown for each award. Pay special attention to these guidelines and to each submission's due date.
