Research Excellence Award – Established Researcher

Description

The recipient of the Established Researcher award is a faculty member who through his/her impactful research has earned national or international recognition for the Telfer School of Management. The recipient of this award has over the past 5 years conducted outstanding and impactful research.

Evaluation Criteria

In assessing nominees’ for the Established Researcher Award, the Telfer School Research Committee will evaluate the following criteria:

  • Quality of Research: The recipient of the Established Researcher Award conducted and published high quality research over the past 5 years. Because research quality indicators are specific to disciplines, one or several of them can be used in promoting a candidate: publications in high quality journals (including papers invited for revision and resubmission), presentations at leading academic conferences, number of citations and/or its derivative measures (such as h-index), journal impact factor, external awards, other discipline relevant indicators and relevant attention from the broader academic community of the candidate’s discipline. When evaluating candidates, the Research Committee will evaluate each candidate within his/her discipline using discipline-specific indicators. The Research Committee will also look for evidence that the candidate is an independent researcher, including abilities to foster new research collaborations. Potential for research to impact management practices and policy-making, as well as receiving media attention will be considered to reflect quality of the candidate’s research.
  • Research Funding: the recipient has a strong history of securing external funding or research support.
  • Students’ Research Training: The recipient should have demonstrated willingness to participate in the research training of students. Evidence for student training can include, but is not limited to: participating in the UROP program, the supervision or co-supervision of graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows, teaching in the MSc and/or PhD programs, publishing with students, or sitting on graduate students’ thesis committees.

Evaluation of candidates will be based on CV but also on a support letter that will persuasively, comprehensively, and with examples convey how the candidates’ research meets the evaluation criteria detailed above.
