President's Awards

The National Research Foundation President's Awards primarily recognise South African scientists for their achievements as indicated through the NRF rating system. In addition, to the rating linked awards the mandate of the NRF stipulates that the organisation supports and promotes research in the broadest sense. These special awards provide a platform to honour researchers for career contributions to knowledge creation and dissemination as well as capacity development and transformation in the national research system.

Special awards are made in the following categories annually at the NRF President's Awards function:

  1. A- rated researchers
  2. P-rated researchers
  3. *Transforming the Science Cohort, and
  4. *Champion of Research Capacity Development at SA HEIs;
  5. *Lifetime Achiever.
(*nominees in these categories may not necessarily be a researcher rated by the NRF)

Institutions from the National System of Innovation (NSI) may submit a nomination in the categories, 'Transformation of the Science Cohort', 'Champion of Research Capacity Development at SA HEIs' and 'Lifetime Achiever' awards. All nominations must be submitted through the research offices of an NRF recognised research institution.
