The Golden Goose Award is a United States award in recognition of scientists whose federally funded basic research has led to innovations or inventions with significant impact on humanity or society. Created by Congressman Jim Cooper of Tennessee in 2012, recipients receive the award in a ceremony during the fall each year on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.

These awards were often given to scientists working on seemingly obscure studies that were federally-funded, causing ridicule and scrutiny of the usefulness of such research. More information...
