Faculty Senate Research Policy Committee seeks nominations for Community Engaged Research Lectureship Award
October 19, 2022
The Faculty Senate Research Policy Committee (RPC) seeks nominations of faculty from all colleges at UNM for the annual Community Engaged Research Lectureship Award.
The Community Engaged Research Lectureship (CERL) is one of the highest honors that UNM can bestow upon a faculty member in recognition of exemplary community engaged research or community engaged creative works. The awardee will receive a $5,000 honorarium or a funding allocation to be placed in a research-related account and the awardee’s name will be included in the UNM Roll of Honor.
The factors that determine excellence in community engaged research or community engaged creative works vary widely by field and discipline and exist across the spectrum of engagement of the community in problem or need identification, assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of outcomes and impacts. Nominators are strongly encouraged to review the nominee’s work and argue their interpretations of the meaning of community engagement as well as how the nominee’s work exemplifies it.
The nominee must be an active, full-time professor or exceptional associate professor at the time the nomination is submitted, in the tenure track, research track, or clinician-educator track. Persons nominated one year will be reconsidered for four additional years based on the same materials but must be re-nominated.
