|
4.7 Establishment and Review of Awards The establishment of awards requires the approvals of (a) the IEEE Awards Board for their specifications, and (b) the IEEE Board of Directors for their establishment and use of IEEE funds on behalf of the IEEE Organizational Units for the purpose of sponsoring awards. The IEEE Awards Board and the Organizational Units, acting through their respective Awards and Recognition Committees, shall establish procedures to ensure critical review, approved funding and reasonable schedules for awards proposals submitted. The establishment of those student recognition and support activities within the specifications given in Table A has been delegated by the IEEE Awards Board and the Board of Directors to the Major Boards having chartered Awards and Recognition Committees. Those activities beyond Table A require the approval of the IEEE Awards Board. Portions of Section 11 of this Manual and MGAB Operations Manual shall be examined for relevancy. Details for proposals for new awards shall be specified in the IEEE Awards Board Operations Manual. It is the policy of the IEEE to review all awards and scholarships every ten years. Contractual arrangements for new awards and scholarships should provide for review and modification by the IEEE in order to cope with changing conditions in the profession. It is recommended that all new awards be established for a specific period of 10 years, and renewable for a like period. |
