The Marilyn Harvey Award to Recognize the Importance of Research Ethics celebrates ethical research leadership. The award is presented to a student, staff or faculty member, retiree or alumni who has distinguished themselves by their actions and contributions to scholarly research and embodies the institution’s commitment to excellence in research ethics. The award was named in honour of Marilyn Harvey, BN, a research nurse who brought forward her concerns regarding research ethics to senior administrators at the University. It was created to recognize the commitment to research ethics excellence as demonstrated by students, staff and/or faculty members.

This award opportunity is given annually to a student, staff or faculty member who has distinguished themselves by their actions and contributions to scholarly research and embodies the institution’s commitment to excellence in research ethics. These efforts may take the form of service to ethics committees at Memorial University, mentorship of colleagues or students on matters related to research ethics, or other demonstrated contributions or achievements associated with research ethics. The award will be based on evidence of continued distinction, in excess of expected levels of performance.

The recipient of this award will receive a personalized framed scroll, their name added to a permanent notation on a University display which lists the name of those that have received this honour, and a citation and presentation at an awards reception.
