Research and Creative Achievement Awards
Nomination Deadline: January 27, 2012
The Office of Research is soliciting nominations for the 2012 Research and Creative Achievement Award. The four recipients of these prestigious awards will be presented a certificate of achievement and a $3,000 monetary award at the Chancellor’s Honors Banquet on April 9, 2012. The Awards Committee of the Research Council will screen all nominations and make recommendations to Greg Reed.
The purpose of these awards is to recognize tenured faculty members who have received national and/or international recognition in their field, stimulate research and creative achievement, and emphasize that faculty research and creative achievement are integral to the mission of the University of Tennessee. Only tenured faculty members who, by the end of 2011-2012, have more than ten years of professional experience beyond their terminal degree or more than ten years beyond winning the Chancellor’s Award for Professional Promise in Research and Creative Achievement are eligible. You are encouraged to resubmit names of candidates who were not previously selected. Recipients of the award during the period of spring of 2000 through 2011 are ineligible for this year’s competition. Distinguished Scientists and Chairs of Excellence are ineligible for these awards because of the recognition and support afforded them through these positions.
Each small UT academic department or budgetary unit at Knoxville may submit the name and credentials of one nominee to the Awards Committee. Larger departments (twenty or more faculty members) may submit two nominations. The nominations must include the official title page and supporting documentation describing the nominee’s accomplishments and relationship and significance to his or her field for the past ten years.
The original title sheet with signatures and one copy of supporting materials should be sent to:
Research Awards Committee
1534 White Avenue
Campus 1529
Attention: Jane Taylor
Materials must be received by noon on Friday, January 27, 2012.
