The I. I. Rabi Award, founded in 1983, is awarded annually by IEEE.
"The Rabi Award is to recognize outstanding contributions related to the fields of atomic and molecular frequency standards, and time transfer and dissemination."
The award is named after Isidor Isaac Rabi, Nobel Prize winner in 1944. He was the first recipient of the award, for his experimental and theoretical work on atomic beam resonance spectroscopy.
