CANR Excellence in Research Awards Program
The CANR Excellence in Research Award program recognizes the outstanding contributions of CANR researchers to the research mission of Michigan State University (MSU). In particular, the awards focus on the impact that their achievements have had on academic and/or external stakeholder communities. This program is also intended to support the nomination of CANR faculty for further MSU, national, and international recognitions.
Types of Awards (Eligibility):
- Early Career Researcher Award: Individuals with less than 5 years research experience (not including graduate research or post doc)
- Established (Mid-Career) Researcher Award: Individuals with 5 or more years of total research experience (not including graduate research or post doc). Preference to those researchers with > 5 years of research experience at MSU/CANR.
- Research Fellow (Career) Award: Individuals with 15 or more years of total research experience (not including graduate research or post doc). Preference to those with >10 years of research experience at MSU/CANR.
- Impact Award (Co-Sponsored by ABR and MSUE): Research project (individual or team collaboration) that has made an outstanding impact in the external stakeholder community.
Individuals nominated for these awards must be current CANR faculty (tenure system or fixed term) or academic specialists that have a majority of their academic appointment within CANR.
Ideal candidates for the CANR Excellence in Research Awards will have:
- Evidence of dedication to research through experimentation and discovery and implementation of innovative techniques that contribute to research scholarship.
- Evidence of excellence in research as demonstrated impact in scholarly outputs (e.g., peer-reviewed publications, competitive grant funding, conference presentations, and awards).
- Evidence of excellence in research as demonstrated by impact in academic (e.g., citations, Google Scholar H-index, innovative research methods, other relevant metrics,) and/or in external stakeholder communities (e.g., changes in policy or behavior/practice, quantified benefits such as economic, social, and environmental).
Faculty and staff are encouraged to submit nominations (including self-nominations) that document the criteria above. Please note that nominators must work with nominees in the preparation of the application package. Each academic unit is limited to one nomination per award type per year, with nominations submitted by department or unit chairs.
Award recipients will be recognized each year. Fellow, Established, and Early Career Researcher Award recipients may only receive each award once. The award review committee will strongly favor those nominations for individuals that have not previously received MSU, national, or international recognitions for their research.
