Current members of the IEEE EAB, IEEE-HKN-BOG, or members of the IEEE professional staff, may not be nominators, recipients, or endorsers of EAB or IEEE-HKN Awards, unless otherwise specified.

As specified in IEEE Policy 4.4.H, Eligibility and Process Limitations, individuals serving on any board or committee involved at any stage of the recipient selection or approval process for an award shall be ineligible to receive, or act as a nominator or reference for that award. This conflict of interest limitation shall apply to all awards given by the IEEE or any of its organizational units.

Self-nominations will not be accepted unless otherwise noted.
 

Self-nominations are not accepted for any EAB Award unless otherwise noted. However, for the scholarships listed above, self-nominations/applications are acceptable.

An individual can only serve as a nominator or reference for one award per category. Unless otherwise noted, the nominator does not need to be an IEEE member for most EAB Awards.

When awarded to a team

In the event of an award going to a team, when recipients are required to be IEEE members, i.e., Accreditation, Continuing Education, Educational Innovation, all team members are required to be IEEE members. Travel will be provided for one team member only. The honorarium is to be split equally among the team members. Only one honorarium for any one award will be given.

Please see each individual award page for any exceptions.
