government on outstanding scientists and engineers in the early stages of their independent research careers.

to create an award program that would honor and support the achievements of young professionals at the outset of their independent research careers in the fields of science and technology. The stated aim of the award is to help maintain the leadership position of the United States in science. Originally, 60 recipients received the PECASE award per year. Due to increased participation by the Department of Defense, this has increased to 100 per year. The 2002 PECASE awards were not announced until May 2004 due to bureaucratic delays within the Bush administration. The 2013 PECASE awards were announced in February 2016 after a 2-year delay. The Trump administration announced the 2015, 2016, and 2017 awardees in 2019 with the awards being presented by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
