Consider nominating yourself or others for one of these award or advisory opportunities.

Golden Goose Awards

The Golden Goose Award is currently collecting nominations for its 2023 prizes. For those unfamiliar with the Golden Goose Awards, they recognize federally funded research that “may have seemed obscure, sounded ‘funny,’ or for which the results were totally unforeseen at the outset, but which ultimately led, often serendipitously, to major breakthroughs that have had significant societal impact.” Self-nominations are not permitted for Golden Goose Awards, so if you think you have research that qualifies, send a message to SOT Headquarters.
