The SFI St. Patrick’s Day Science Medal is awarded annually to a distinguished scientist, engineer or technology leader living and working in the USA with strong Irish connections. Running since 2014, the competition was further developed in 2016 to include a specific award for an industry leader. 

Both the industry and academic medals recognize individuals who are not only outstanding in their fields of expertise but who also have demonstrably assisted researchers in Ireland in either academia or industry – via mentorship, supervision, collaboration, industrial development, entrepreneurship or who have made significant contributions to developing the research ecosystem in Ireland.

Interested applicants are encouraged to review additional details regarding the award and nomination process included in the attached flyer and award website: https://www.sfi.ie/funding/funding-calls/sfi-st-patricks-day-science/. 

Nominations must be submitted to sciencemedal@sfi.ie by 5pm (Dublin local time) on Friday, November 4th, 2022. 

Please send a message to PSOM-Awards@pennmedicine.upenn.edu with notice of your intent to apply no later than 5pm on Friday, October 28th, 2022.
