The Boulder Faculty Assembly Awards for Excellence in Research, Scholarly, and Creative Work, 2010

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 2010. 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. Nomination packets 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. Evaluators must sign their letters of evaluation if at all possible. If a signature is not possible, please include a copy of the email to which the letter of evaluation was attached for confirmation purposes.
  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.
