Faculty Research Team Award
The Award recognizes a team of College of Engineering faculty for their recent extraordinary efforts to collaborate on highly impactful and innovative team research that strongly support our College’s research mission. Emphasis will be given to a newly developed research initiative, while the sustaining and/or enhancement of an existing, strong research collaboration will be considered as well. The COE team of nominees will have demonstrated the interactions among a group of faculty, which may include other researchers across the University and/or with other institutions to develop or sustain a significant research initiative that contributes to establishing the College as a prestigious research enterprise.
This award is established to confer honor upon individuals with truly significant inspiration, dedication, and contributions to their establishment of a research initiative that enhances the reputation of the College in a timely or cutting edge research area.
Eligibility
- All faculty in the College of Engineering are eligible.
- The award is presented to a group of faculty members who collaborated on a project.
- Past recipients are not eligible for a period of five years after receiving the award.
Qualifications
All candidate groups must have:
- demonstrated success in either a new research collaboration or sustained, existing collaboration that has resulted in a significant funded research project or program;

- demonstrated that the resulting initiative or ongoing project could only have been made possible through collaborative efforts, particularly across disciplines.
Selection
A committee will be appointed by the Dean of Engineering to select award recipients.
