This serves the mission of the academy and the charge of the International Theme Committee, which sponsors this award.

Each of the academy's Divisions & Interest Groups nominates one annual meeting submission for this award every year, up to three of these nominations may be selected to receive the award. Each paper nominated for the Carolyn Dexter Award is designated as such on the program.

Each paper is self-nominated through the academy's abstract submission entry portal to the division or interest group of their choice. Each of the 25 divisions or interest group program Chairs then nominates one paper to be considered by the respective award committee. From this pool, the award committees formally review and select recipients for the awards.
