The Boulder Faculty Assembly Awards for Excellence in Research, Scholarly, and Creative Work, 2008

The Boulder Faculty Assembly is pleased to announce that up to four (4) awards for excellence in research, scholarly, and creative work will be awarded for spring 2008. Each award will be in the amount of $3,000. Emphasis will be on work of high quality that does not receive recognition through the usual channels. For instance, nominations for interdisciplinary research, work accomplished with undergraduate students, or an integrated long-term achievement are particularly invited.

Nomination Instructions

Nominations should not be "recycled" from the past, but rather should be prepared for this award cycle. Nominating folders must contain the following materials in the following order:

1. A cover letter from the person nominating the faculty member. If several people are nominating the faculty member they should jointly prepare one cover letter and cosign it.
2. 3 to 6 supporting letters of evaluation from appropriate colleagues. At least 3 letters must be from colleagues outside of CU.
3. The candidate's curriculum vitae.
4. Please do not submit samples of published materials

**Other supporting materials such as letters written by students may be included if appropriate but must follow the items on the list above.

About Nominees

• Nominees will be from general faculty, including instructors, (i.e. members of the Boulder Campus Faculty Senate) and are solicited from departments as well as individual faculty members.
• They also may be self nominated.
• The award will not be given to the same person in successive years.
• Nominators are advised to present the names of only those colleagues who will be on campus during the spring semester 2008.
