There are seven awards of recognition:
Carl G. Hartman Award

See procedures for guidelines regarding the length of the nomination and supporting letters.
Jansen Distinguished Leadership and Service Award
This award recognizes an active, regular member of the Society who has demonstrated unselfish service and leadership in advancing the discipline of reproductive biology. View the procedures for guidelines.
Virendra Mahesh New Investigator Award
This award recognizes an active, regular member of SSR for outstanding research completed and published within 12 years after receiving a Ph.D. or other equivalent professional degree (please note that for 2022 an additional year of eligibility is given due to COVID-19, i.e. 13 years). Nominees will be evaluated on the originality, significance, and impact of their research in reproductive sciences or allied fields, and the degree to which their research was independent of that of a mentor.

SSR Research Award
This award recognizes an active, regular member of the Society for outstanding research published over the previous six years. View the procedure for guidelines.

SRR Trainee Mentoring Award
This award recognizes an SSR member who as a mentor has had a significant impact on Trainees within the SSR.
