Eugene G. Fubini Award
The Eugene G. Fubini Award is an award by the Defense Science Board, named after Eugene G. Fubini, on an annual basis to recognize an individual from the private sector who has made highly significant contributions to the Department of Defense in an advisory capacity over a sustained period of time.
Also in honor of Dr. Fubini, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) presents a different Fubini Award recognizing the NDIA C4ISR Person of the Year.[1]
Nominations
Service Secretaries, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the General Staff of the Secretary of Defense, and the members and former members of DoD Advisory Boards and Committees may submit candidates for consideration for this award. Recognized advisory bodies include the Army Science Board, Naval Research Advisory Committee, Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, Defense Science Board, Defense Policy Board, Defense Business Board, Defense Intelligence Agency Advisory Board, Threat Reduction Advisory Committee, and the Intelligence Science Board.
Criteria
Nominees will have contributed recommendations relating to ideas, methods, or processes which reflect exemplary advice across the broad spectrum of the DoD mission. Innovations are expected to meet the needs of the warfighting and peacekeeping communities faster, better, and cheaper; improve the acquisition system; or strengthen the commercial and defense industrial base.
