The Graduate School makes up to six awards each year to graduate students for excellence in research. The director of each graduate program may nominate one individual for a research award. Nominations from the graduate program directors to the Graduate School are normally due in mid-February. These consist of at least three letters testifying to the nominee’s qualifications and a copy of the nominee’s cv. Other materials are welcome. The winners receive $1,000 each and the awards are presented at the School’s awards reception in April.

Nominees for the graduate student research awards will be judged by the excellence of their research; in the case of collaborative research the contribution of the nominee must be clearly identified.

Complete nomination packets should be submitted to Associate Dean Harvey Waterman by February 15.
