Research Recognitions and Awards for Faculty

 

Regents Distinguished Research Award

 

Award Philosophy

The Regents Distinguished Research Award recognizes research excellence at Oklahoma State University. The term research includes all scholarly, scientific, and creative activities. Recipients of the award will be selected based on the evidence of outstanding and meritorious achievements in research. The candidates must demonstrate a distinguished record of past and continuing excellence in research.

 

The program includes one award per college, except the College of Arts and Sciences, which has two (one in the sciences and one in the arts and humanities).  Along with University recognition, awardees earn a $2,000 permanent increase in annual salary plus associated fringe benefits.

 

“Research excellence is the hallmark of a great land-grant university,” said Kenneth Sewell, OSU’s vice president for research.

 

“These honorees each year are great examples of the amazing impact our faculty have on their disciplines and society at large, not to mention the transformative effect they have on their students here on campus.”

 

Eligibility and Nomination Criteria

  • Full-time faculty members (in any faculty appointment) who have been at OSU for four or more years as of the application deadline. Note that this includes tenure line as well as research faculty appointments.

  • Evidence of excellence of the nominee’s research accomplishments.

  • An individual can receive the award no more than twice.

  • Each college must submit two nominations, except for the College of Arts and Sciences which must submit four (two nominations must be from the sciences and two from the arts/humanities disciplines).
