Past awards have been made in five main areas: technology product and process; technology management and policy; technology concepts; technology and human resource development; and environmental technology.
The deadline for submitting 2004 nominations is October 30, 2003, and nominations should be submitted by e-mail. Nomination forms and guidelines may be downloaded from the National Medal of Technology website at http://www.ta.doc.gov/medal.
