The American Astronomical Society's High Energy Astrophysics Division (HEAD) has extended the deadline for nominations for several HEAD Awards. The awards include the Bruno Rossi Prize, Distinguished Career Prize, Mid-Career Prize, Early-Career Prize, Dissertation Prize, and Innovation Prize. Nominees can be self-nominated, except for the Rossi and Dissertation Prizes.
The extension was made due to the time between HEAD 22 and HEAD 23 surpassing 18 months. This means that nominations will be considered based on the year a nominee's PhD was completed, rather than the year the prize is awarded. For example, the Early Career prize requires a PhD degree by 2016. Information on the prizes, nomination requirements, and past winners can be found on the HEAD Awards Page, with individual nomination forms accessible through each award's webpage. The HEAD Awards Page also includes details on each prize's specific criteria and time restrictions.
