The Faculty of Education Award for Excellence in Research

THE AWARD

The Faculty of Education Award for Excellence in Research was created in 2003 to recognize one professor for contributions to research in education.

The award will be granted every year from 2003 to 2006 and, then once every two years afterwards and will alternate with the Faculty of Education award for excellence in teaching, given that appropriate candidates are nominated.

The Faculty of Education Award for Excellence in Research is $1,500 deposited in a research account under the name of the recipient. The award will be presented on the occasion of a lecture given by the recipient.

CRITERIA

1. Regular member of the teaching staff of the Faculty of Education (with tenure or on a tenure-track appointment) and not eligible for the Faculty of Education New Researcher Award.
2. Contributions to research in education which have earned distinction for the researcher, for the Faculty and for the University through creative scholarship.
