Research Awards

Each year, the Office of Research oversees the nomination, selection, and awarding of the annual MUSM Research Awards. Faculty and students are nominated by their peers or mentors, then a subcommittee of MUSM’s Research Committee selects a winner in each category.

2025 Nominations

All MUSM-employed full-time faculty (tenured, tenure-track, research, or clinical) in at least their second year on faculty may be nominated for faculty awards.  All full-time students in good standing in any MUSM academic program may be nominated for student awards. Nominations will be accepted until Friday, September 5.  Applicant materials will be due on Monday, September 29.
