Prestigious Awards | Highly Prestigious Awards

In the early 2000s, the National Research Council — the operating arm of the National Academies — compiled lists of distinguished scholarly awards across the arts and humanities, physical sciences and engineering, social sciences, and life sciences, and designated each one as "prestigious" or "highly prestigious." Today, these classifications remain relevant in university rankings.
