Research Achievement
FOUR AWARDS:
- Two awards for tenured/tenure-track faculty
- Two awards for fixed-term track faculty
Purpose of Award
TENURED: This award is to recognize, encourage and reward faculty who have conducted a sustained program of high-quality, high-impact research that has translated into national and international recognition and has made a substantial contribution to the faculty member’s field.
TENURE-TRACK: This award is to recognize, encourage and reward faculty who have conducted high-quality, high-impact research that shows distinct promise for national and international recognition and substantial contribution to the faculty member’s field.
Criteria
The selection committee will consider the following criteria in selecting winners:
- Degree to which nominee has demonstrated a current (TT) or cumulative (T) record of excellent research that has had impact and earned recognition within the nominee’s field(s)
- Degree to which the nominee’s research has (T) or likely will (TT) influence the faculty member’s field of scholarship
Tenured faculty will be considered based on sustained excellence over time whereas tenure-track faculty will be evaluated based on their accomplishments to date and research trajectory.
Nomination Materials
A selection committee composed of faculty will review nomination packets. The nomination packet for this award will consist of only the following, assembled into a single PDF file in the order indicated:
- Complete award nomination form
- CV of nominee
- Recent letter of support/nomination from a peer faculty colleague, department chair, or a college leader
- Self-statement of research and scholarly activity (not to exceed 2 pages):
For tenured faculty, the statement should speak to
- citations, references, or other evidence of impact of your scholarly work that has been sustained over time
- importance of your cumulative scholarly work (stated in ways that non-specialists can understand)
- recognition of the work at the disciplinary, national, or international level
For tenure-track faculty, the statement should speak to
- description of research accomplishments and measures of impact (citations, references or other measures of impact)
- recognition of the work at the disciplinary, national, or international level
- research agenda and in-progress scholarship and its importance to field
The self-statement and the nomination letters should use non-specialist language and explanations that explains the extent and the importance of the research, the nature of the venues in which it has been disseminated, and the impact that the nominee has had (tenured) or will have (tenure-track) on the discipline.
No additional materials should be submitted.
Each dean’s office should upload completed nomination packets by the deadline.
Previous recipients of the President’s Distinguished Achievement Award for Research Achievement are ineligible for nomination for this award.
Each college may submit a maximum number of nominees (based on the size of the college) for each award category (tenured/ tenure-track and Fixed-term track). Within the tenured and tenure-track categories, the college must designate whether a nominee is to be considered in the sub-category for STEM research or the sub-category for research in other disciplines:
