Description
Research Excellence Awards highlight research achievements of recently tenured faculty members, to raise the profile of individuals who would be considered for future external recognition and promote the recognition of research excellence at the University.

How to Apply
Each college runs their own selection process for nominees. As such, they will decide how many nominations they wish to receive and any deadlines by which they are due from their departments/schools. Colleges will also be deciding how the nominations are evaluated prior to submission for approval. It is expected and highly-suggested that colleges give special attention and consideration to Tri-Agency equity, diversity, and inclusion guidelines, and be prepared to indicate what plans were put in place to ensure that these guidelines have been observed.
