Nominations for new research prizes due Aug 15

Kim Matheson, Vice-President (Research and International), announced the launch of new Carleton University Research Prizes.

These prizes recognize efforts that go beyond specific research programs and are intended to reward faculty members’ activities and initiatives that are integral to the enhancement of the vibrant research culture at Carleton.

Carleton has among its faculty some outstanding researchers who go well beyond the needs of their own scholarly work to engage in building a broad and sustainable foundation that supports research excellence, student engagement, and Carleton’s impact on real-world issues. They might do so by mentoring their junior colleagues, or by building new initiatives and/or partnerships that allow their colleagues and students to take advantage of new opportunities.

The prizes consist of the Faculty Mentoring Award, Building Connections Award and the Research-Academic Excellence Award. We are now seeking nominations to recognize the exceptional contribution of our faculty.

Nominations are due in the Carleton University Research Office by Aug. 15.
