Talk:Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers

Award amount
Initially, the Presidential Award increased the amount of grant money received by the recipient. However, during George W. Bush's tenure as president, this feature was phased out and no longer exists; the award is now simply an honor bestowed upon the recipients.

Can anyone confirm this and, if so, add to page? 129.116.140.102 (talk) 17:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

This is not true. My son has currently received this award and said he received his money (goes to research) however, I did not asked the amount. I believe it is $100,000 a year for 5 years although I am not positive. The ceremony and reception will be Dec 19 at the White House.

You seem to be confused. Your son probably got a CAREER award from NSF or something equivalent from a participating agency. This carries the amount you say, typically. PECASE awards are selected among top CAREER awards. The initial discussion focuses on an increase beyond the original CAREER award.

It's $200k/yr, over 5 years -- at least for those nominated by DoD and NSF. I don't know about other agencies.

Pronunciation
How is the acronym PECASE pronounced? I have heard everything from "pea case" to Picasso. Jon

The NIH archive (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/pecase_archive.htm) is missing one person (Jay R. Hove). What's up with that? Thatsme314 (talk) 16:56, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Presidential Faculty Fellowship (PFF)
The material from the Presidential Faculty Fellowship (PFF) sections at Presidential Young Investigator Award probably fits better here than there. Maybe we should move the material to this article? Thatsme314 (talk) 10:23, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
