Faculty Awards and Nominations

The Faculty Achievement Awards honor outstanding performance by EVMS faculty and will be presented at the EVMS Service and Recognition Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, October 29, 2019.

Procedure

The awards are presented in six categories; to review the description of each award, simply click the links below. Then, click the "Faculty Nomination Form" button to complete your nomination form. Be sure to have all of your required documentation accessible before beginning the nomination process.

Documentation

The nominator provides the name, title and department of the nominee along with required documentation including:

Required:

an updated curriculum vitae
a nominating one-page letter describing the accomplishments of the nominee

Discretionary:

up to four one page letters from colleagues, peers or others in support of the nomination

The nominator’s letter and the candidate's CV are the essential documents reviewed by the Awards Committee in selecting the recipients of these awards. Therefore, every effort should be made in the nominator's letter to highlight the nominee's accomplishments, especially those that may not be evident in the nominee's CV pertinent to the award category.

Resubmission of Previously Submitted Nomination Packets

If you submitted a nomination last year which was not selected for an award, you can resubmit for one additional cycle using letters of support from the prior year - the exception being the Rising Star Award, which requires a new submission. All resubmissions require 2 items: (1) an updated CV and (2) an updated nominator's letter (to include a description of what the nominee has done over the past 12 months). All other resubmissions, which are outside of this timeframe, require a new submission with new documentation.

Deadline

Nominations are being accepted through Friday, September 13, 2019. Nominations will NOT be accepted after this date.
