Technology Innovation

To supplement the awards in Medicine, Engineering and Science that were established in 2006, TAMEST created the O’Donnell Award in Technology Innovation to recognize individuals or research teams from non-academic institutions that have made a major innovative technological discovery that has the potential for making a positive impact on society.

Each award includes a $25,000 honorarium and an invitation to present at TAMEST’s Annual Conference in January.

Nominees for The Technology Innovation Award come from a wide range of disciplines including:

Eligible candidates must:

• Nominees must be continually employed in the state of Texas for the past two years (ending October 31, 2012).
• Nominees must not have exceeded age 52 at the end of the year in which the nomination is made.
• For team nominations, at least one team member must meet all eligibility requirements, and must have had substantial responsibility for the development of the technology being considered.
• TAMEST Members are not eligible for the O’Donnell Awards.
