美國印第安納州設立了新的科學獎章，藉此表揚當地傑出科學家特殊的發現、研究和發明。「尼爾森創新研究獎」，主要是以普渡大學的尼爾森博士來命名，他在食物製程領域上的成就，讓他在2007年獲頒全球糧食獎。
尼爾森博士最大的成就，就是利用無菌製程將蔬果貯存在3層的密封箱中，防止生鮮食品腐壞。密封箱的內層是利由輕薄的紙片、塑膠和鋁，做成密實輕量的飲料液態食物容器，即使是孩童或成人也不容易開啟。
印地安納州長表示，印地安納州的科學家，只要其研究成果超越純科學研究，進而開創產品或製程上的工業革新，引發進一步的科學研究浪潮，改善人類生活品質，皆會受到「尼爾森創新研究獎」的肯定。
The state of Indiana has established a new science prize to recognize outstanding Hoosier scientists for their unique discoveries, research and inventions.
The new Dr. Philip E. Nelson Innovation Prize is named in honor of the distinguished Purdue University scientist who was awarded the 2007 World Food Prize in October for his achievements in the field of food processing.
Dr. Nelson is credited with developing the aseptic process to store fruits and vegetables in triple-layer sealed boxes to prevent post-harvest spoilage.
The box walls are made of thin layers of paper, plastic, and aluminum that form a compact, lightweight beverage and liquid foods container tough enough for children and active adults.
The governor said the Nelson Innovation Prize will recognize an Indiana scientist whose work goes beyond pure scientific research and leads to the creation of products or processes that revolutionize industry, inspire further scientific inquiry, and improve the quality of life.
