Grants help you to do something. While awards, are for something you have done. We put them together here because both are about recognition for effort expended. In our bi-monthly newsletter we recognize job promotions, as well as any grants or awards received by our members all under the heading of Academic Announcements.

As a member, we ask that you inform us of your achievements as well as other members you know so that we may acknowledge and share your promotion with the SAEM membership via the newsletter. When sending your announcement to techsupport@saem.org, include your full name, your credentials, the institution, and then a brief description of the accomplishment.
