I am not aware of a definitive list, but for Brooke and anyone else who is
interested, here are:

1.) a link to the National Academy of Science's awards:

2.) Here's one to the National Academy of Engineering's awards:

3.) And to the Institute of Medicine's: http://www.iom.edu/IOM/IOMHome.nsf/

These give information on the medal or award, its history, procedures, and past
awardees.  If you want more detailed
information on our awards, let me know.

We have a 1956 copy of a book titled Handbook of Scientific and Technical
Awards: United States and Canada: 1900 -1952.
It was published by the Special Libraries Association.  I looked in Alibris to
see if there were later versions, but only find this
edition listed.
