UWM Research Foundation
Senior Faculty Awards - Call for Nominations

We are pleased to announce that the UWM Research Foundation, in collaboration with the Graduate School, has established the UWM Research Foundation Senior Faculty Awards.  These awards are designed to recognize researchers who have a long history of significant contributions to their field of research.  Unlike the Graduate School/UWM Foundation Research Awards which recognize assistant and associate professors, all research faculty members, are eligible for these awards. 

The Committee of UWM Distinguished Professors will review the nominations and make recommendations to the Vice Chancellor for Research & Economic Development, and Dean of the Graduate School for the final selections.  The individuals selected as recipients will receive a $1,500 case award and will be honored at the UWM Awards Ceremony in the fall of 2010. 

We encourage you to consider nominating a member of your department/program for an award.  In addition to providing a means of honoring outstanding researchers, these awards recognize our collective commitment to academic research and to the importance of UWM's research mission. 

Please send nominations to Rita Derleth, Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research & Economic Development, and Dean of the Graduate School, 320 Chapman Hall, by 4:30 p.m. no later than Friday, May 14, 2010.  The nomination materials should include a letter of nomination, two letters of support, and an updated vitae.  You may secure letters of support from UWM faculty members or from colleagues outside UWM.  If you submit or quote from confidential letters written for another purpose, you must secure the permission of the author(s) prior to doing so.
