The UNMC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is seeking nominations for the 2023 Community Service to Research Award.
The community is critical to UNMC’s research enterprise. Community members serve in many roles to develop, advise, review, support, disseminate and implement next steps in research. This award honors a community member or group serving in any role that the nominator believes is worthy of recognition for how they contribute to UNMC research.
Some examples or accomplishments for nominated individuals include:
- Collaborator or volunteer to support UNMC research projects.
- Advisor to a research program.
- Community member serving on a UNMC research oversight committee.
- Activist who speaks up for research and its value in the community.
Nominees cannot be employed by UNMC or the University of Nebraska. The nominator must be a UNMC faculty member, but letters of support can come from UNMC faculty, alumni or students.
The 2022 Community Service to Research Awards were presented to Doris Lassiter and Mona Zuffante.
Submit nominations for consideration on or before Aug. 11 by completing the official nomination form. Questions should be emailed to James Geiger in the UNMC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. The award will be presented at the 2023 Distinguished Scientist Awards Ceremony near the end of the calendar year.
Nominations for the Distinguished Scientist Awards also opened earlier this month.
