Founded in 2021, the FRIB Achievement Award for Early Career Researchers consists of a stipend for $3,000 intended for participant support to attend the annual Low Energy Community Meeting and give an invited plenary presentation on the awarded work.

Two awards are given annually, one for primarily experimental research, and one for primarily theoretical research. The FRIB Laboratory presents the award based on selection by the FRIB Users Organization(link is external) Executive Committee and the FRIB Theory Alliance(link is external) Executive Board.

The call for nominations for the 2025 FRIB Achievement Award for Early Career Researchers is now closed.
