UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

REPORT OF FACULTY AWARDS

1992 - 2007

Major national and state awards to faculty have been identified through lists published on web pages of awarding organizations, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and local and University publications. Emphasis has been placed on awards which span specific fields of study, that is, awards for which faculty in multiple departments could be eligible.

For this report, research fellowships (e.g., Guggenheim Fellowships) have been considered as awards; research grants have not. Elected memberships to certain national academies have also been included; awards from dues-paying membership organizations are normally excluded. While the primary emphasis of this report is on awards won, since 1992, by University of Virginia faculty during their tenure at the University, summary data on awards won by faculty at other Virginia institutions is included for comparison purposes.

No claim is made that this report includes all major awards made to faculty in all disciplines. Suggestions of additions, revisions, etc. to this report should be directed to Martin Shank, Institutional Assessment and Studies, 1939 Ivy Road, Charlottesville, VA 22903, (434) 924-6427.
