This annual NRC honour is conferred upon active external researchers who have distinguished themselves through many years of outstanding achievement in a field that is relevant to NRC's programs. The award consists of a cash prize and a one-year fellowship tenable at one of NRC's institutes. Dr. Gileadi is familiar with Ottawa, having earned his PhD in Electrochemistry from the University of Ottawa in 1963. Since that time, he has taught at a number of respected academic 
and industrial institutions such as Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore), the Technical University of Dresden (Germany) and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Australia). At the present time, in addition to his position at Tel-Aviv University, Dr. Gileadi holds teaching positions at the University of Virginia and Case Western Reserve University. He is the winner of the 2003 Olin Paladium Medal Award of the Electrochemical Society.
