The CASE Research Award is 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.

Work with undergraduates (UGs) includes faculty working with and closely mentoring undergraduate students in research endeavors. The award can recognize UG research that involves UGs at a variety of levels, first years to seniors. The award can recognize research that is led by undergraduates, but it can also recognize faculty-led research in which undergraduates are involved in significant and meaningful ways.

Number of awards and award amount:

There will be up to three $700 awards per year.
