today named 102 researchers as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.  The winners will receive their awards at a Washington, DC, ceremony in the coming year.</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">“The impressive achievements of these early-stage scientists and engineers are promising indicators of even greater successes ahead,” President Obama said. “We are grateful for their commitment to generating the scientific and technical advancements that will ensure America’s global leadership for many years to come.”</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">The Presidential Early Career Awards embody the high priority the Obama Administration places on producing outstanding scientists and engineers to advance the Nation’s goals, tackle grand challenges, and contribute to the American economy. The recipients are employed or funded by the following departments and agencies: Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of the Interior, Department of Veterans Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Science Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Intelligence Community, which join together annually to nominate the most meritorious scientists and engineers whose early accomplishments show the greatest promise for assuring America’s preeminence in science and engineering and contributing to the awarding agencies' missions.</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">The awards, established by President Clinton in 1996, are coordinated by the Office of Science and Technology Policy within the Executive Office of the President. Awardees are selected for their pursuit of innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology and their commitment to community service as demonstrated through scientific leadership, public education, or community outreach.</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">This year’s recipients are:</p> <p style="margin-left: auto"><strong>Department of Agriculture</strong></p> <p style="margin-left: auto">Dr. Steven Cannon, Iowa State University</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">Dr. Isis Mullarky, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">Dr. Justin Runyon, U.S. Forest Service</p> <p style="margin-left: auto"><strong>Department of Commerce</strong></p> <p style="margin-left: auto">Dr. Gretchen Campbell, National Institute of Standards and Technology</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">Dr. Adam Clark, University of Oklahoma</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">Dr. Alan Haynie, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration</p> <p style="margin-left: auto">Dr. R.
