In line with UW Strategic Plan Objective 2 (Pursue Institutional Excellence) and as UW approaches R1 status, The President’s Distinguished Scholars Program seeks to recognize outstanding scholarship among faculty in all academic disciplines. Across all disciplines, UW seeks to pursue institutional excellence through world-class scholarship.
The program is designed for early-career faculty who show exceptional promise towards excellence in scholarship, but senior faculty with extraordinary excellence in scholarship will also be considered. Applications for the President’s Distinguished Scholars can be made as part of recruitment or retention packages. All college deans and directors of schools may apply for the President’s Distinguished Scholars Program. Applications should be directed to uwpres@uwyo.edu and should include:
Proposals for current faculty will be reviewed in December, March, and May. Proposals associated with faculty hiring may be submitted at the time deans are preparing the details of the academic appointment. Proposals associated with retention may be submitted at the time the retention request is made to the Provost. The individual who receives this award will also hold the title of President's Distinguished Scholar for 3 years.
Once applications have been submitted, decisions can be expected within 4 weeks.
