National Medal of Science
National Medal of Science är en hedersbetygelse som USA:s president delar ut för större framsteg i vetenskapen.
Hedersbetygelsen inrättades av USA:s 86:e kongress 1959 för att hedra forskare inom vetenskapsområdena fysik, biologi, matematik och ingenjörsvetenskap. En kommitté för att utse kandidater etablerades 1961 och hedersbetygelsen delades ut första gången 1963, för år 1962. Hedersbetygelsen kom från 1979 att omfatta även samhällsvetenskap och beteendevetenskap. Kommittén som utser kandidater administreras av National Science Foundation. Reglementet för hedersbetygelsen tillåter upp till 20 mottagare per år, men 8–15 mottagare per år har varit vanligare. För vissa år har ingen hedersbetygelse delas ut, dessa är 1971, 1972, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1984 och 1985. Donald Trump delade inte ut hedersbetygelsen under sin presidentperiod, varför den senaste gången hedersbetygelsen delades ut var 2016 av Barack Obama, för åren 2013 och 2014.
