Warren Washington Lifetime Achievement Award for Advancing Inclusive Science Excellence

About this program

The American Geophysical Union (AGU) offers the Warren Washington Lifetime Achievement Award for Advancing Inclusive Science Excellence to honor senior scientists whose career-long development of programs, systems, or networks has measurably advanced diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Earth and space sciences. Recipients receive a $10,000 prize, a custom engraved award, recognition and registration to AGU’s annual meeting, two hotel nights, and Honors Banquet tickets. Nominees must be experienced senior scientists and established leaders in the field; nominators must be active AGU members, and peer or self-nominations are permitted. Candidates are evaluated on sustained impact in reducing structural barriers and advancing DEI scholarship, pedagogy, policy, practice, advocacy, innovation, leadership/mentorship, and international or cross-disciplinary contributions; all parties must comply with AGU’s conflict-of-interest and professional conduct policies (submission window: 5 January–2 March).
