Since its inception, The Academy has promoted the recognition of the impressive scientists of St. Louis. This tradition continues with the 28th Annual Outstanding St. Louis Scientists Awards.

We wish to focus the region’s attention upon individuals, institutions and corporations known worldwide for their scientific contributions to research, industry, and quality of life. In every category, preference is given to candidates who also have a record of excellence in communicating with the public, mentoring colleagues, or leadership in the field of science or industry.
