Gertrude S. Goldhaber Prize

The Gertrude S. Goldhaber Prize has been established to honor Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber for her outstanding contributions in the field of nuclear physics, and also for her support of women in science, and to recognize substantial promise and accomplishment by a woman graduate student in physics.

The winner will receive an award of $4000 from a fund administered by Brookhaven Women in Science, and will be expected to give a seminar on her work at the award ceremony. Nominees must:

• be enrolled in the graduate program at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and/or performing their thesis research at Brookhaven National Laboratory;
• be admitted to the candidacy for the doctoral degree;
• not be receiving her degree prior to the calendar year of the award; and
• submit one letter of recommendation and one scientific paper they authored.
