CAP Fellows Program

The CAP Fellows Program recognises members of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) who have made significant contributions to the Canadian physics community. Appointees must demonstrate significant contributions in two of four categories: service to CAP or the Canadian physics community, research and development while working in Canada, professional practice of physics, and educational activities or mentorship. Recipients use the designation FCAP or FACP. The program targets yearly appointments up to 1% of full CAP membership, not to exceed 10% of full membership.

Appointees are entitled to use the designation FCAP or FACP.

Nominees must be members of the CAP (Full, Joint, or Foreign) and demonstrate significant contributions in at least two of the four specified categories. Nominations are confidential and nomination files remain valid for three years but must be reviewed annually to remain active. Nomination packages may be submitted in English or French.

Candidates are nominated via the CAP Recognition Nomination System; nomination packages may be submitted in English or French and nomination enquiries can be sent to programs@cap.ca.
