Supporting Recognition for Exceptional Research and Scholarship

Honorific awards are prestigious accolades that recognize exceptional achievements in research, teaching, service, and leadership. These awards, granted by national and international organizations, not only celebrate individual faculty excellence but also elevate professional visibility, enhance future funding prospects, and attract top talent to our institution. Receiving an honorific award affirms the broader impact of your work on your discipline, your students, and the research community at large.

Honorific Award Readiness

Being prepared for an award nomination requires planning to ensure that your accomplishments are publicly visible, regularly updated and that your network is robust. 

  • Up-to-date CV and professional headshot: Sometimes, deadlines are short – having polished materials ready to go means not having to wait for the next cycle to apply.
  • Participate in professional societies and stay up-to-date on your dues: Eligibility for many awards requires “membership in good standing” in the granting organization for a specific number of years.
  • Know and develop your network: Colleagues can be potential mentors or nominators. Develop your network and stay connected at professional events and by sharing and engaging on networking sites.
  • Awards build on each other: Starting with smaller awards can help establish your name, laying the foundation for more prestigious awards down the line.
