The DePaul College of Science and Health Award for
Excellence in Research is intended to recognize College of Science and Health
faculty who have made significant scientific contributions in their area of
research and to promote outstanding research in the College of Science and
Health.
There are two awards that recognize outstanding research in the
college: 1) Excellence in Research Award: this award is to
recognize a Full Professor’s outstanding contributions to the field over the
course of one’s career, and a $2,000 honorarium will be provided; and 2) Mid-Career
Excellence in Research Award: this award is to recognize an Associate
Professor’s outstanding contributions to the field, and a $1,000 honorarium
will be provided. Applicants of the Mid-Career Research Award must be at
the Associate level and not more than 7 years post-tenure.
Names of
recipients of both awards will be engraved on a plaque displayed in the Dean’s
Suite. In any given year, an award will be made for one or the other of
these awards, and in exceptional cases, it is possible that both awards will be
given.
Competitive nominations
that follow the guidelines listed on the nomination form will be kept on file,
but each year updated CVs along with a note regarding changes in research
record from the person being reviewed must be received in order to be considered
in subsequent years.
Nominations are due February 15.
