National Science & Technology Medals Foundation

The National Science & Technology Medals Foundation, a District of Columbia 501(c)3 public charity, was founded nearly thirty years ago on the belief that scientific and technological advancement are potent agents of positive change. Our mission was focused on celebrating the women, men, and companies who received the National Medal of Science and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation - the nation’s highest STEM honors.

In the last five years, though, the Foundation has evolved dramatically. Today, we not only celebrate STEM excellence, but we also work to build inclusive, diverse, and equitable STEM communities and the tangible benefits they have on scientific and technological progress.
