The RITC is managed by the Radiation Instrumentation Steering Committee (RISC), which has 18 members elected from the general membership of the radiation instrumentation community. Five people are elected to the RISC each year; each person is elected to a 3-year term. The RISC manages the activities of the RITC.

The Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference (NSS/MIC) is a conference jointly organized by the Radiation Instrumentation Technical Committee (RITC) and the Nuclear and Medical Imaging Sciences Technical Committee (NMISTC). In order to coordinate the NSS/MIC conference site selection, the Joint Oversight Subcommittee (JOS) makes site visits and recommends the conference locations. The Joint Executive Subcommittee (JES), consisting of the RITC and NMISTC President, Past President, and President-Elect, takes the JOS recommendation and makes the final conference site selection. The current members of the JOS are found here.

Nominations of candidates for election into the RITC is open the beginning of each year, with nominations due in June. The Steering Committee governs activities and issues relevant to the IEEE NPSS radiation instrumentation community. Candidates must be official members of the IEEE NPSS. Self nominations are encouraged. Please send all nominations by May 31st to Lorenzo Fabris, RITC Nominations Chair, who can be reached at fabrisl@ornl.gov, and Merry Keyser at merrykeyser@ieee.org.

This award is given to a young investigator in recognition of significant and innovative technical contributions to the fields of radiation instrumentation and measurement techniques for ionizing radiation. The prize, consisting of $1,500 and an engraved plaque, will be awarded at the IEEE/NPSS Nuclear Science Symposium.

Individuals whose highest degree has been awarded within 10 years of the date of nomination, and includes current graduate students.

Nominees will be judged according to their contributions to the fields of radiation instrumentation and measurement techniques for ionizing radiation as demonstrated by the technical merit and creativity of their research. Priority will be given to nominees whose research has been published in peer-reviewed journals.

Nominations must be received by July 15.

For tips on how to write a successful award nomination refer to Tips for Writing a Successful NPSS Award Nomination (pdf).

The nomination must be compliant with the IEEE Policy on Award Limitations, which states “Normally, an individual shall receive only one honor in recognition of a given achievement, unless the significance of the achievement is such as to merit subsequently a higher award. A higher award may be given in the following year or thereafter.”

Nomination forms are available in pdf format or in doc format.

Completed packets should be submitted ONLY VIA EMAIL to the RISC Awards Sub-Committee Chair:   Paul Lecoq CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

The nominator should provide the information requested in the nomination form. Please do not submit materials beyond those requested.

The members of the Radiation Instrumentation Early Career Award Committee are listed above.

We take seriously to manage and solve any Conflict of Interest that should arise; Committee Members cannot nominate anybody to the award. In case Committee Members are asked to write a reference letter for any nominee, the Member will stay as Committee Member but will not provide evaluation for that nominee.

This award is given to an individual in recognition of mid-career significant and innovative technical contributions in the field of radiation detectors, radiation instrumentation, and/or nuclear electronics, and/or measurement techniques for ionizing radiation. The award consists of US$2,000 and an engraved plaque and is awarded at the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium.

Any individual with at least ten years of professional experience and significant contributions in the areas of radiation detectors, radiation instrumentation, and/or nuclear electronics, and/or measurement techniques for ionizing radiation can be nominated. For the scope of this award, mid-career is defined as no less than 10 years and no more than 28 years of research after obtaining the highest degree (Masters; PhD).

Primary consideration will be given to nominees who have made original and significant innovations in the field of radiation detectors, radiation instrumentation, and/or nuclear electronics, and/or measurement techniques for ionizing radiation. Other factors can include the cumulative research contributions over the first part of the career and the level of internationally recognized leadership. In addition, the roles of the nominee as a mentor may also be considered.

Nominations must be received by July 15.
