Any member of SPSMM may make a nomination.  All nomination materials must be submitted in one complete packet by the nominator to the Awards Committee Chair.  This packet should include four copies of the following:

• A cover letter detailing the award and the person being nominated.

• Two letters of support from individuals other than the nominator.

• The nominee's vita (if available).

• A phone number where the nominated person can be reached (can be included in the cover letter).

• Researcher of the Year nominations should indicate publications for which the nominee is being honored.
