In recognition of the critical links between active engagement in scholarship and excellence in teaching, the Excellence in Research, Scholarship and/or Creative Activity Award recognizes faculty who exemplify the teacher-scholar model in their professional development at Sonoma State. The award provides faculty with funds to support their continued engagement in research, scholarship and creative activities.

One recipient will receive a cash award recognizing the work for the 2019/2020 academic term, to be used for any purpose that directly supports the scholarly and creative activities of the faculty member.  This includes, but is limited to:

· Traveling to present scholarship at conferences, to collect primary data, or to do archival research

· Funding undergraduate or graduate assistants 

· Purchasing equipment and specialized supplies 

· Other fully justified expenses may be considered at the discretion of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP)

Award notification will be made in early May 2020.  Nominations considered from any member of the university community; self-nominations will not be accepted. Please submit your nominations here by April 27, 2020. The award will be determined from the nominations submitted to the committee.
