Trinidad and Tobago has nurtured many sons and daughters who have left their mark in science and technology to the benefit of peoples in the Caribbean and around the world. For many, their contributions have gone unrecognized and unrecorded. Thus in 2006, NIHERST created, with the support of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Tertiary Education (MSTTE), a special award scheme to recognize and reward nationals for outstanding achievements in science and technology. The life stories and achievements of awardees are documented in the series entitled Trinidad and Tobago Icons in Science, Technology & Innovation, which provides positive role models for our youth to emulate, while also recording our scientific heritage for posterity. In 2009, the Caribbean Academy of Science (CAS) joined NIHERST in presenting these awards.

We have re-branded the awards to honour some of our science icons. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit nominations for:

·         The Fenrick De Four Award for Engineering

·         The Emmanuel Ciprian Amoroso Award for Medical Sciences

·         The Rudranath Capildeo Award for Applied Science & Technology

·         The Julian Kenny Award for Natural Sciences

·         The Anthony Williams Award for Technological Innovation in Arts & Culture

·         The Frank Rampersad Award for Junior Scientist

·         The Ranjit Kumar Award for Junior Engineer.
