Awards partially bestowed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences

Answer:

NOBELS

Hint:

These prestigious prizes honor groundbreaking contributions in physics, chemistry, and economic sciences.

Explanation:

The clue refers to the Nobel Prizes, which are awarded in several categories, including physics and chemistry—both overseen by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The word "partially" hints that only some Nobels (not all, like Peace or Literature) are given by this group. The answer is "NOBELS" because the prizes are named after Alfred Nobel and often called that in plural form.
