Professional Promise in Research and Creative Achievement Awards

Nomination Deadline

  • Last Monday in January, 5:00 p.m.

Nomination Form

In 1998, the Professional Promise in Research and Creative Achievement Awards was established. This was a new category of awards that was created to give special recognition to talented junior faculty for their professional promise in research and creative achievement and who have received national and/or international recognition. The awards are also to encourage excellence in research and creative achievement in the professional development of our faculty, and to reinforce that faculty research and creative achievement are integral to the mission of the University of Tennessee.

Eligibility is limited to tenured or tenure track faculty members at the assistant or associate professor rank who by the end of the current academic year have fewer than ten years of professional experience beyond their terminal degree. Nominees must have a minimum of three years of service on the faculty of the University of Tennessee. An individual may only receive this award once.

Each small UTK department or budgetary unit may submit the name and credentials of one nominee to the Awards Committee. Larger departments (20 or more faculty members) may submit two nominations. The nominations must include a title page and supporting documentation describing the nominee’s accomplishments and relationship and significance to his or her field for the past five years. An individual may not be simultaneously nominated for this award and the Research and Creative Achievement Award.

The original and 15 copies of the nomination and supporting materials should be sent to:

Research Awards Committee
1534 White Avenue
Campus 1529
Attention: Ms. Donna Doyle

The deadline for receipt of materials is 5:00 p.m., on the last Monday in the month of January.

If you have questions or comments regarding the awards and/or application processes, contact Donna Doyle at the Office of Research or by phone at 865-974-0437.
