What information does the Selection Committee use to make its recommendations?
A. Prior to review, each nomination is assigned to one of the program’s senior staff. Staff members draw from the nominator’s letter, experience with nominations in similar areas, and independent investigation to prepare a file for the Selection Committee. The file is generally composed of letters of evaluation from experts in the nominee’s field and samples of the nominee’s work that exemplify their creativity, such as articles, books, slides, films, and audio or video recordings. It may also contain reviews of those works and reports about the nominee published by others.
