Young Tall Poppy Science Awards 
The prestigious Young Tall Poppy Science Awards aim to recognise the achievements of Australia's outstanding young researchers in the sciences working in universities, research institutes and laboratories in private industry, private practice and government organisations. The sciences include physical, biomedical and applied sciences, engineering and biotechnology.
Coming from diverse specialist fields ranging from public mental health, genetic research, organ transplants and reproductive health to nanotechnology, environmental engineering and telecommunications research, the Young Tall Poppy Science Award winners are emerging stars of the future.
Part of the Tall Poppy Campaign, the Awards are run by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science which initiated the program in 1998. The NSW Awards are supported by the NSW Office for Science and Medical Research.
Nominees should be no more than 35 years of age as of 31 July 2009, and have at least two, and up to ten years, of relevant post-doctoral experience.
In 2008, 13 Young Tall Poppies were awarded from NSW and the ACT.
