+The Nelson P. Jackson Aerospace Memorial Award was established in 1960 to honor Nelson P. Jackson, a founder and first president of the National Space Club. This award is the club's second most prestigious honor and it recognizes outstanding contributions to advancements in the missile, aircraft, and space fields.
+Described by NASA as “the space world's equivalent of an Academy Award" it is presented annually by the National Space Club during the Dr. Robert H. Goddard Memorial Dinner in Washington, D.C.
+Nelson P. Jackson was a highly decorated Air Force colonel, involved in the military atomic energy program, and had served with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was also a prominent D.C. attorney and the D.C. manager for GE's Atomic Energy Division.
+The National Space Club is the premier non-profit organization dedicated to advancing space leadership, technology, and education in the United States. Bringing together industry leaders, government officials, educators, and private individuals, the club fosters collaboration in astronautics and ensures that critical space-related information is shared with the public.

+The Lloyd S. Nelson Award is an annual award presented by the editorial review board of the Journal of Quality Technology (JQT), a quarterly peer-reviewed journal published by the American Society for Quality (ASQ). The award recognizes the paper published in the JQT judged to have the "greatest immediate impact to practitioners" in the field of quality control and applied statistics.
+
+
+== History and Namesake ==
+The award is named in honor of Dr. Lloyd S. Nelson (1922–2013), an American statistician and educator who was influential in developing and promoting statistical methods for quality improvement. Nelson was the founding editor of the Journal of Quality Technology, a publication dedicated to making technical statistical tools accessible for industrial application. He established the journal in 1969 by leading the initiative to split ASQ's flagship publication, Industrial Quality Control, into two separate journals: the general interest magazine Quality Progress and the more technical Journal of Quality Technology. Nelson is also known for formalizing the Nelson rules, a set of tests used to detect "special causes" of variation in statistical process control charts.
+
+
+== Criteria and Selection ==
+The winning paper is selected by the JQT editorial review board based on criteria prioritizing real-world utility and accessibility for professional practitioners. The evaluation criteria include:
+
+Ease of adoption: the contribution can be used immediately by practitioners.
+Applicability: the contribution can be used across a wide variety of disciplines and industries.
+Resources: availability of accompanying source code or tables to ease implementation.
+Relevance: the paper is readable and accessible to a broad audience.
+Recognition: the paper continues Nelson's legacy of focusing on practical application.
+The award is typically presented at the annual Fall Technical Conference (FTC), which is co-sponsored by the ASQ Statistics Division and the American Statistical Association's Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences.
+
+
+== Recipients ==
+Notable recipients of the award include:
+
+2004: Robert Mee, for his paper Efficient two-level designs for estimating all main effects and two-factor interactions.
+2017: Peter Goos and Steven G. Gilmour, for their paper Testing for lack of fit in blocked, split-plot, and other multi-stratum designs.
+2018: Anh Tuan Bui and Daniel W. Apley, for their paper Monitoring for changes in the nature of stochastic textured surfaces.
+2023: Daniel A. Cole, Robert B. Gramacy, James E. Warner, Geoffrey F. Bomarito, Patrick E. Leser, and William P. Leser for their paper Entropy-based adaptive design for contour finding and estimating reliability.
+Note: the years given above correspond to the paper's year of publication, not the year in which the award was bestowed.

+The Magellanic Premium, also known as the Magellanic Gold Medal and Magellanic Prize is awarded for major contributions in the field of navigation (whether by sea, air, or in space), astronomy, or natural philosophy.
+The Premium was established in 1786 through a grant by Jean-Hyacinthe Magellan (Portuguese: João Jacinto de Magalhães). Benjamin Franklin, then President of the American Philosophical Society, accepted it and established the terms of reference under which it would be given.
+In the 217 years since Magellan offered the Premium, the APS has awarded on only 36 occasions (as of 2021): twelve for navigation, twelve for natural philosophy, and eleven for astronomy.

+The Royal Society and Académie des sciences Microsoft Award was an annual award given by the Royal Society and the Académie des sciences to scientists working in Europe who had made a major contribution to the advancement of science through the use of computational methods. It was sponsored by Microsoft Research.
+The award was open to any research scientist who had made a significant contribution at the intersection of computing and the sciences covering Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering. The prize recognized the importance of interdisciplinary research at the interface of science and computing for advancing scientific boundaries, as well as the importance of investing in European scientists to give Europe a competitive science base. The recipient was selected by a Committee comprising members of the Académie des sciences and Fellows of the Royal Society. The prize consisted of a trophy and monetary amount of €250,000, of which €7,500 is prize money and the rest earmarked for further research. 
+The first award was made in 2006 and the last in 2009. It has now been replaced by the Royal Society Milner Award.

+The Minkowski Prize is given by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in recognition to research which has been carried out by a person normally residing in Europe, as manifested by publications which contribute to the advancement of knowledge concerning diabetes mellitus. The Prize honors the name of Oskar Minkowski (1858–1931), a physician and physiologist who was the discoverer of the role of pancreas in the control of glucose metabolism. It has been awarded annually since 1966, and the winner is invited to pronounce a Minkowski Lecture during the EASD Annual Conference. It is traditionally seen as the most prestigious European prize in the field of diabetes research. 
+Since 1966, the award is sponsored by a pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis. The prize consists of a certificate and 20,000 euros plus travel expenses. The candidate must be less than 45 years of age on 1 January of the year of award. Self-nomination is possible.
