Celebrating Faculty
The accomplishments of 13 USF faculty members took center stage in the fall at the annual Outstanding Research Achievement Awards and the Excellence in Innovation Awards, both sponsored by the USF Office of Research & Innovation.
Nine faculty members received the Outstanding Research Achievement Award, established in 2003 to recognize faculty who have received exceptional recognition of their research with preeminent awards, grants or publications in top journals during the previous calendar year. The open competition is judged by the USF System Research Council.
Four faculty members received the Excellence in Innovation Award, recognizing exceptional achievement in technological innovation and its transfer to practice, industrial partnerships and/or commercialization during the previous calendar year. The award program was established in 2009.
Both programs recognize the integral role of faculty in creating new knowledge and advancing the culture of research excellence at the university.
