Purpose of the Award 
The CASE Research Awards are intended to be different from campus-wide research awards in that we recognize impact on students and the field and not necessarily research funding or expenditures. Instead, we wish to honor your own meritorious accomplishments, demonstrations of high impact on your discipline, innovation in methods or results, and/or your work with undergraduates on original research projects.  

Number of Awards and Award Amount 

There will be a $1,400 award each year. 

Who is Eligible to Apply? 

All CASE affiliated full-time faculty are eligible to apply. Previous applicants who were not selected for the award are encouraged to update their application materials and reapply.     

Current members of the Faculty Leadership Council and faculty who have won this award in the past three years are not eligible. Past winners are listed on the CASE website.
