The Utah State Advisory Council on Science and Technology is accepting nominations for the 2012 annual Governor's Medal for Science and Technology Awards.  Governor Gary Herbert awards the Governor's Medal as a symbol of recognition to those individuals who have provided distinguished service to the state of Utah in science and technology and he will present the awards at a dinner following the final selection of the awardees.  

The Utah State Advisory Council on Science and Technology is responsible for administering the award and for recommending nominees to Governor Herbert.  This year, nominations will follow a simplified, two-step submittal process.  A one-page form is all that is needed to initiate a nomination.  This form can be accessed via the web at: http://business.utah.gov/governors-medals.  Nominees selected from the first round of applications may be asked to submit a more complete application package that would include letters of recommendation.

Nominations can be made in one of five categories:  Academic, Science Education, Industry-Individual (independent inventors and entrepreneurs), Industry-Company (for- and non-profit company) and Government.  Any Utah citizen or organization may submit nominations.  Nominees must meet a residency of Utah requirement detailed in the “Procedures and Criteria for Selection” document located on the internet at the Governor’s Office of Economic Development website, http://business.utah.gov/Procedure-Criteria. The nominations must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Monday September 17, 2012 and should be addressed as follows:
