The Users' Executive Committee instituted a new award in 2002 to acknowledge an individual from the NSLS user community in recognition of his/her service, innovation, and/or dedication to NSLS users.

This is not an award for scientific achievement, but rather for contributions that have improved the quality of science at the NSLS.

The award is presented at the annual NSLS Users Meeting. Any member of the NSLS user community with an active appointment is eligible for receipt of this award, excluding current UEC/SPIG members.

The award winner receives a $250 cash award. In addition the award winner's name is engraved on the UEC Award plaque which is displayed in the lobby of the NSLS.
