Call for Nominations

2009 University Distinguished Scholar Awards

The Office of Research requests nominations for the 2009 University Distinguished Scholar Award (DSA). Each year, through the DSA program, the university recognizes and honors six faculty members whose scholarly activities, research or other creative works are at the forefront of their respective disciplines. The deadline for submission of the 2009 University Distinguished Scholar Award nominations to the Office of Research is Monday, October 20, 2008 at 5 p.m.

Each recipient will receive a research grant of $20,000 for pursuit of further scholarly activity and a $3,000 honorarium. To be considered eligible for the 2009 Award, nominees must have served on the faculty at Ohio State for at least five years. 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. In keeping with the university's ongoing commitment to diversity, nominations of women and minority faculty members are strongly encouraged.

Instructions and nomination materials are available here.
