2025 Trauma Unique Leaders and Innovating Professionals (TULIP) Award Nomination Guidelines

Nominees must be ATS members or an employee of an Institutional Member.
Applications for nominations are open May 1, 2025 - July 1, 2025

Nominations must follow the nomination guidelines and exclusions listed below:
  • Qualified applicants demonstrate significant contributions in alignment with the core tenets of the award category for which they are nominated.
  • Completed applications must be submitted prior to the deadline, for consideration of award
  • Individuals who have previously won a particular award are not eligible to win that award again, even if it has been reformatted. They may, however, be nominated for a different award.
  • Members of the ATS TULIP Awards committee, the ATS Board of Directors, and ATS staff are not eligible for awards during their term of service, even if the service for which they would be nominated occurred prior to their term of service or employment.
  • All nomination materials become the property of ATS. Materials cannot be returned.
  • The nominator is responsible for assuring that all required documentation is collected for the nominee. Incomplete submissions may adversely impact the committee's ability to adequately and fully evaluate a nominee.
  • Can I nominate someone who isn’t currently an ATS member? Yes, but they must be a member prior to receiving the award.

ATS strives to reflect in its membership and leadership the diversity within the United States, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, special needs, and other diverse populations. ATS encourages the celebration of promotion of diversity through education mentoring, recognition, leadership, and other programs.

The ATS TULIP Awards committee will review all nominations for determination of award issuance. If none of the nominees for a particular award reflect the level of achievement expected of an award recipient, the committee reserves the right to recommend that the award not be presented. The committee reserves the right to recommend an Honorable Mention recipient at their discretion, which can be included in publications. Nominations will be selected and notification will be made to nominators in September.
