AURA Awards - Science, Service, Technology/Innovation, & Team
Awards
AURA recognizes exceptional
accomplishments by individuals or groups of individuals by presenting them with
the AURA Outstanding Achievement Award. Originally only given for service and
science, AURA now also recognizes accomplishments in Technology and Innovation.
In addition, from time to time,
AURA staff makes substantive contributions to science, service, or technology
through a sustained and coordinated team effort. In such cases, the achievement
is the result of the efforts of a number of individuals each making a unique
contribution. AURA recognizes such contributions with the AURA Team award.
AURA would like to commend all of the winners of
AURA Outstanding Achievement Awards.
