Call for Nominations

2010 University Distinguished Scholar Awards

The Office of Research requests nominations for the 2010 University Distinguished Scholar Award (DSA). Each year, through the DSA program, the university recognizes and honors six faculty members who demonstrate scholarly activity, research, or other creative works which represent exceptional achievements in their fields. Recipients of the award receive a $20,000 research grant and a $3,000 honorarium to pursue their scholarly activity. The faculty chosen for this award will be publicly honored during an awards ceremony held in April 2010.

All nominees must have served on the faculty at Ohio State for at least five years. In keeping with the university's ongoing commitment to diversity, nominations of women and minority faculty members are strongly encouraged. Ohio Eminent Scholars are already recognized as distinguished faculty and are, therefore, not candidates for nomination. All nominations must be made by departmental committees convened by the chair (or designee). Individuals wishing to nominate a candidate should contact their departmental committee.

The deadline for submission of the 2010 University Distinguished Scholar Award nominations to the Office of Research is Monday, October 19, 2009 at 5 p.m. Instructions and nomination materials are available here.
