O'Brien (HSSResearchAdmin@mun.ca) and Matthew Milner (HSSResearchGrants@mun.ca), for submission procedure information and support in drafting the proposal.

The internal selection of candidates to be nominated by the University for prestigious external awards entails the Awards Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewing several times annually, submissions 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 prior to the deadline set by the AAC (see deadline below). Heads or individual faculty members should submit the AAC nomination template document electronically to HSS’s Secretary to the Associate Deans, Savanna Muscat (smuscat@mun.ca). The template can also be obtained from the Grants Facilitators Heather C. O'Brien or Matthew Milner.
