Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary requirements for the criteria claimed. The petitioner's role as a co-primary investigator on a National Science Foundation grant was not considered a prize or award for excellence, but rather funding for research. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove that membership in his professional associations required outstanding achievement, and evidence of published material about his work was insufficient.
