*Call for Nominations*

2017 BOWER AWARD AND PRIZE

*for Achievement in Science*

* THEME: Perturbations of Natural Systems in the Anthropocene*

* PRIZE: $250,000 USD*

* Nomination Deadline: May 31, 2016*

On behalf of The Franklin Institute, I invite you to nominate candidates
for the 2017 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science. This award
is presented annually by The Franklin Institute to an outstanding member of
the international scientific community for outstanding work in the basic,
applied, or engineering sciences. A gold medal and $250,000 cash prize are
bestowed upon the individual selected to receive this distinguished award.

Each year, a unique field of study is chosen as a theme. The theme of the
2017 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science is *Perturbations of
Natural Systems in the Anthropocene*. The Franklin Institute seeks
nominations of individuals who have made significant contributions to
understanding and quantifying perturbations of natural systems within the
biosphere, atmosphere, or hydrosphere in the age of the Anthropocene.
Nominations should recognize fundamental contributions that emphasize
large-scale modeling or synthesis of observational data in order to provide
insights into these systems within the recent past and into the near
future. Such insights may come from investigating time scales of minutes to
millennia and study across multiple disciplines.

For instructions on nominating a candidate for the 2017 Bower Award and
Prize for Achievement in Science, please visit

The Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science and the Bower Award
for Business Leadership are the newest in The Franklin Institute's long
history of recognizing and encouraging achievement in science, technology,
and leadership. Through The Franklin Institute Awards, which today includes
the Benjamin Franklin Medals, awarded in seven areas of science and
engineering, and the Bower Awards, the Institute has honored more than
2,000 luminaries since 1824, representing the greatest minds of the 19th,
20th, and 21st centuries. The roster of Franklin Institute laureates
includes Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Rudolf Diesel, Marie and Pierre
Curie, Orville Wright, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Edwin Hubble, Frank
Lloyd Wright, Jacques Cousteau, Ruth Patrick, Stephen Hawking, John Mather,
Ralph Cicerone, Jane Goodall, Gordon Moore, Elizabeth Blackburn, Steven
Squyres, W. Richard Peltier, Bill Gates, Dean Kamen, and Subra Suresh. *I
urge you to nominate a candidate whose name should be added to this
distinguished list. *

*Please share this call for nominations with your colleagues and
professional associations and post it on relevant websites.* Questions
about the appropriateness of a particular nomination are welcome and may be
directed to Dr. Frederic Bertley, senior vice president for science and
education, at *fbertley at fi.edu* <fbertley at fi.edu>. If you know of a
candidate who has made an extraordinary contribution to the understanding
of perturbations of natural systems in the Anthropocene, I strongly
encourage you to participate in the exciting nomination process for the
2017 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science.
