Nominations Being Sought for First Russ Engineering Prize The National Academy of Engineering is now seeking nominations for a biennial $500,000 prize made possible by longtime Ohio University benefactors Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ. The Russes attracted national attention in October when they announced the creation of the Russ Prize, which joins the Charles Stark Draper Prize as one of the top engineering prizes in the world. The Russ Prize, funded through a $5.8 million endowment to Ohio University from the Russes, will recognize engineering achievement that has significantly impacted society. The first Russ Prize will be awarded in October and will recognize outstanding achievement in bioengineering. The winner will spend a week lecturing and working with faculty and students on the Athens campus. The Russ Prize and the annual $500,000 Draper Prize, endowed by Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass., are the top two engineering prizes in the world according to academy President Wm. A. Wulf. The deadline for nominations is March 3, 2000. You can download a copy of the nomination form in pdf format by visiting the National Academy of Engineering's Web site.
