Annual NIOSH Awards Recognize Excellence in Science and Service

The dedication of staff to the NIOSH vision of safer, healthier workers can be seen in the current work being done across NIOSH to respond to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).   NIOSH recently took time to recognize the important work achieved over the last year by holding the annual NIOSH Science and Service Awards. The awards ceremony provides an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the previous year for NIOSH staff across the Institute, from laboratory science and technology to communication and research to practice. This year, the awards ceremony, previously known as the NIOSH Science Awards, was expanded to include a new Service Awards category—the Service Excellence Award.

This new award recognizes NIOSH staff who provide excellent administrative and managerial support to the Institute’s mission and projects. The award identifies distinction in three categories: Excellence in Administration, Excellence in Human Capital, and Excellence in Leadership.
