2002 Level II Scientific And Technological Achievement Awards (STAA)
2003 - Overview | About STAA | Level I Awards | Level II Awards | Level III Awards | STAA Honorable Mentions
Level II awards - are for those who have accomplished a notably excellent research or technological effort that has qualities and values similar to, but to a lesser degree, than those described under Level I. Awarded research has timely consequences and contributes as an important scientific/technological achievement within its discipline or field of study.
