PART I, LINE 2: THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR NUTRITION ANNUALLY RECOGNIZES INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN NUTRITION RESEARCH AND PUBLIC SERVICE. NOMINATIONS MAY BE MADE BY ANYONE, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE RESPECTIVE NOMINATING COMMITTEES AND NONMEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY. NOMINATIONS FOR EACH AWARD WILL BE RETAINED FOR TWO YEARS. CANDIDATES MAY BE RE-NOMINATED. CANDIDATES FOR AWARDS NEED NOT BE MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY. HOWEVER, THE AWARDS ARE USUALLY GIVEN TO PROFESSIONALLY ACTIVE NUTRITION SCIENTISTS. AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS RECEIVED ONE ASN AWARD IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANOTHER AWARD UNLESS IT IS FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS NOT COVERED BY THE FIRST AWARD. AWARD JURIES, COMPOSED OF ASN MEMBERS, ARE APPOINTED EACH YEAR BY THE PRESIDENT. THEIR NAMES ARE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL. THE JURIES SELECT THE AWARD WINNERS FOR THAT YEAR. IF A JURY BELIEVES THAT NO NOMINATED CANDIDATE MERITS AN AWARD, NO AWARD WILL BE GIVEN THAT YEAR. AN AWARD IS USUALLY GIVEN TO ONE PERSON, BUT A JURY MAY RECOMMEND THAT THE AWARD BE GIVEN TO TWO OR MORE INDIVIDUALS WHO COLLABORATED IN RECENT RESEARCH.
