Awards
The Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication
The Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication recognizes and encourages publication of significant research results in science and in technology by JPL employees throughout their professional careers. This distinguished award consists of a certificate of recognition and a monetary award of $5000. Generally, two (2) awards are presented each year.
For using the Spitzer Space telescope to discover over a hundred distant galaxy clusters and enabling studies of the formation and evolution of massive gravitationally-bound structures.
For developing techniques for obtaining spectra of exoplanets and for the first detection of methane in an exoplanet atmosphere, leading to improved understanding of exoplanet atmosphere composition and dynamics.
The Lew Allen Award for Excellence
The Lew Allen Award for Excellence recognizes and encourages significant individual accomplishments or leadership in scientific research or technological innovation by JPL employees during the early years of their professional careers. The award consists of a wall plaque and a monetary award of $25,000 from the JPL Research and Technology Development Fund (R&TD) to be used at JPL to enhance the professional efforts of the awardee.
For the development of a novel design for a submillimeter/far infrared grating spectrometer being used for ground-based discoveries and future observation from space.
For technical innovation and leadership in developing epitaxial growth processes for advanced Sb-based optoelectronics and long wave superlattice focal plane arrays for remote sensing systems.
For exemplary vision, innovation and leadership in fundamentally advancing the capabilities for scientific involvement in planning operations on NASA’s missions.
For fundamental contributions to the understanding of global ocean circulation and sea level change from analysis of satellite and in-situ observations.
