National Medal of Science
- The National Medal of Science was established by the 86th Congress in 1959
as a Presidential Award to be given to individuals "deserving of special
recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to knowledge in the
physical, biological, mathematical, or engineering sciences." In 1980 Congress
expanded this recognition to include the social and behavioral sciences.
