2014 Distinguished Career Awards will be presented to Ronald C. Davidson (Princeton University) and to Rep. Rush Holt (U.S. House of Representatives).

2014 Leadership Awards will be presented to John Edwards (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and to Martin Greenwald (MIT).

2014 Excellence in Fusion Engineering Awards will be presented to Daniel Sinars (Sandia National Laboratories) and to Anne E. White (MIT).

FPA Distinguished Career Awards have been given annually since 1987 to recognize individuals who have made distinguished lifelong career contributions that have benefited fusion energy development. Davidson is cited for his "many years of dedication to advancing the prospects for fusion power" and noting especially "your decades of outstanding career contributions as a scientist, educator, manager and advisor in the areas of both magnetic and inertial confinement fusion". Holt is cited for his "decade-long dedication to advancing the prospects for fusion power earlier in your career, followed by your dedication to public service for more than a decade as a member of Congress" and noting especially "your efforts to improve the Nation's educational opportunities for young people, to improve our environment, and to provide support for scientific research".

FPA Leadership Awards have been given annually since 1980 to recognize persons who have shown outstanding leadership qualities in accelerating the development of fusion as a commercial power source. Edwards is cited "for your many scientific contributions and the managerial leadership you are providing to national and international research efforts on inertial confinement fusion and high energy density plasma physics" and noting especially "your leadership of the scientific program on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) for both high energy density physics and for the eventual achievement of ignition leading towards a commercial fusion power source". Greenwald is cited for "your many scientific contributions and the managerial leadership you are providing to national and international research efforts on plasma and fusion science" and noting especially "your role in the achievement of the Lawson n-tau in Alcator-C and to the understanding of turbulent transport and its role in determining tokamak density limits". The Board also noted Greenwald's "more recent leadership of the US Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC).

FPA Excellence in Fusion Engineering Awards have been given annually since 1987, in memory of MIT Professor David J. Rose, to recognize persons in the relatively early part of their careers who have shown both technical accomplishment and potential to become exceptionally influential in the fusion field. Sinars is cited for "the leadership you have been providing to high energy density physics experiments on the Z facility at Sandia and your many scientific contributions to understanding wire-array implosions for indirect drive inertial confinement fusion and for magnetically-driven implosions being studied for the MagLIF approach to inertial confinement for fusion energy applications". White is cited for "the leadership you have been providing to the world effort to understand turbulent transport in tokamaks, a critical feasibility requirement for tokamak-based fusion power plants, your many other scientific contributions to the field of fusion research, and your devotion to training the next generation of fusion scientists and engineers".
