Jonsson School Faculty Research Awards

The Faculty Research Awards recognize Jonsson School faculty for their outstanding research contributions. The awards, given annually at the Recognition and Appreciation Banquet, honor junior and senior faculty members who have produced exceptional research. A committee comprised of Jonsson School representatives from each department considers each nomination and makes recommendations for the awards based on each candidate’s research record over the preceeding 3-year period.
