The awards recognize federal employees who went above and beyond in 2013 to help advance "the health, safety and well-being of Americans."
This year, 33 feds (including seven teams) were named finalists in seven categories.
Over the next few months, Federal News Radio will interview each finalist about their work.
Scroll through this gallery to view photos of each finalist, listen to our interviews (as they become available), read Q&As, and learn more about the work for which they've been nominated.
