Golden Goose Award Virtual Nominations Briefing
Golden Goose Award Virtual Nominations Briefing
Thanks for your interest in the Golden Goose Award! This event is a virtual briefing to learn more about the Award and how you can help highlight awarded work and/or nominate future awardees.
The Golden Goose Award was envisioned by former Congressman Jim Cooper of Tennessee in coordination with several science and higher education associations including the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Association of American Universities (AAU). The Golden Goose Award celebrates the importance of federally funded, curiosity-driven research by recognizing examples of serendipitous scientific discoveries that have led to major breakthroughs and resulted in significant societal impact. The award tells the stories behind the research, to show the public and Congressional leaders the tangible outcomes behind the federal research dollars spent.
