Â鶹¹ú²úAV

The Research, Scholarship, and Creative Achievement Award is presented each spring to a tenured member of the Â鶹¹ú²úAV faculty who has exhibited consistent excellence in their research efforts. The purpose of the award is to recognize the accomplishments of faculty who achieve national prominence for high-quality research and scholarship.

All full-time tenured members of the faculty with at least five years of service at Â鶹¹ú²úAV are eligible for the award. Full career accomplishments will be considered when a nominee is judged but special evaluative emphasis will be placed upon efforts while at Â鶹¹ú²úAV.

The evaluation of nominees will be based primarily upon consistent quality of research, scholarship or creativity, including:

• peer scholar judgments, evidenced by publications of articles in refereed journals, publications of books, and monographs by nationally competitive publishing houses
• reviewed performances
• juried or invited exhibitions
• awards and citations by professional associations
• positive reviews of funded research proposals, scholarship or creative works
• Simple quantitative measures, such as the number of articles published or the dollar value of grants and contracts generated, are not sufficient evidence of research quality
• In addition, consideration will be given to non-professional acclaim for the outcome of research, scholarship, or creative endeavors.

Some years, the Division of Research recognizes two faculty per year to better recognize the latitude of scholarly activity across the university.

Nomination packets should include a CV, a short statement explaining why the researcher should receive the award and outline the significance of the nominee's research, scholarship, or creative contributions, and a jpeg photo of the nominee.

The complete nomination package (electronic version) is due by 5 p.m. on Monday, January 27, 2025.
