The University Faculty Scholars Program, established in 2012 to recognize and reward emerging academic leaders among our faculty, identifies approximately 20 tenured or tenure-track faculty scholars each year. Faculty members selected as University Faculty Scholars will carry the title for the duration of their faculty appointment at NC State and will receive a permanent increase to their base salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nominations are limited to assistant professors who have been reappointed for a second term, all associate professors, and professors within the first three years of appointment at that rank. To clarify, in the year of nomination, nominated assistant professors must hold the status of “Assistant Professor, 2nd Term.” The final year of eligibility for nomination is the third year following their promotion to professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faculty members who were nominated but not named University Faculty Scholars in previous years and are still eligible may be nominated by their college. However, no faculty member may receive the award more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be eligible for consideration, outstanding faculty should be nominated by their college. Review the individual college nominating procedures for additional details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of nominations for each college has been set, based on the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty FTEs in that college. The provost\u2019s Administrative Advisory Committee<\/a> comprises a tenured faculty representative from each of the ten degree-granting colleges. This committee will review nominations and make recommendations to the provost. The provost in consultation with the chancellor will make the final decision on awardees. No college will receive a predetermined number of awards in any year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have questions about the procedures or timeline below, please contact Sherry Bailey, Internal Faculty Awards Coordinator, sbbailey@ncsu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Significant Achievement Appropriate to Rank in Research\/Scholarship, Teaching and\/or Extension\/Engagement\/Service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Examples in categories below are not exhaustive)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nominations from the colleges should include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In previous years, the Administrative Advisory Committee for the University Faculty Scholars Program has made the following suggestions for letters of nomination and support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Submission Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please submit all nomination materials in a total of four (4) PDF files, or five (5) if you choose to include the optional impact statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTimeline for the 2025-26 Academic Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
