Griffiths Research Award
The Office
of Research is pleased to invite all full-time faculty in The Steinhardt School
to apply for the Griffiths Research Award. The Award was established in 1983 to
commemorate a former Dean of our School, Daniel E. Griffiths, who, as Dean and
Scholar, was committed to the advancement of knowledge through research. A
list of previous recipients is attached.
The Award, given annually in the amount of $1,000, recognizes faculty members
for their research in advancing their fields of knowledge and professional
practice. The 2012 Award will be given to that faculty member or
collaborating group of faculty members whose research best has been published
or accepted for publication over the calendar years 2010-2012 and meets the
following criteria:
- The research has the potential to make a major contribution to the field of the applicant.
- The research represents an innovative breakthrough or major advancement in terms of knowledge, method, design, theory, or practice.
For
the 2012 competition, we will be considering the following scholarly works: books,
book chapters, and journal articles.
All faculty who are eligible for this award are encouraged to apply. The
awardee(s) may be invited to make a presentation of the research during the
following academic year at a Steinhardt faculty
meeting.
Please submit an electronic copy (for chapters and journal articles) and 3 copies (for books) of the scholarly work to the committee for review. In addition to this published work, the applicant should submit a statement of no more than 250 words that provides a framework for work and addresses the criteria described above.
