A new process has been initiated for the internal selection of candidates to be nominated by the University for prestigious external awards. This process entails the Awards Advisory Committee reviewing several times annually a submission of preliminary nomination materials for certain external awards. Those faculty members whose files have been selected for the preparation of the University nomination for the above award will be contacted by the Office of the Vice-President (Research) for assistance in developing the final nomination package to be submitted to external bodies.
Preliminary nomination materials must be reviewed first by the Office of the Dean of HSS (see deadline below). Heads or individual faculty members should submit the AAC nomination template document (see attached, below) electronically to HSS’s Secretary to the Associate Deans, Charlene Burke (charlenes@mun.ca). The template can also be obtained from Charlene.
