Purpose
This award is intended to recognize recent outstanding efforts of IU School of Education faculty to develop, maintain, and grow collaborative partnerships with external entities that lead to and expand the impact of the School’s research, teaching, and service mission.
Eligibility
The award is limited to IUB School of Education faculty.
Each spring the School of Education Awards are made to honor Faculty work in various areas. The Annual Merit Review Process will provide the basis for identifying candidates for these Awards. In January, a call will be sent to all faculty to nominate individuals or self-nominate for one of these awards. From these nominations/self-nominations, members of the Annual Merit Review Committees (from each department and research centers) will then identify up to 10% of their faculty, based on the award criteria, to be forwarded to the appropriate selection committee by February 15. No past recipient of these awards will be considered eligible for a second award in less than a five-year period.
Award Amount
$1500 will be awarded to be deposited in the awardee’s research or other account to be used for professional purposes.
