The work upon which the nomination is based must be in one or more of the areas of radiation research represented by one or more of the Program Area Committees (PACs) of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Candidates who are unsuccessful in any given year may be re-nominated in a subsequent year if they continue to meet the above criteria.
