2024 Barrick Scholar Awards: Call for Nominations

Revised Nomination and Application Materials Required nomination and application materials for the Barrick Scholar Awards have been revised this year. Nominees must provide a number of materials to support their nomination. A Barrick Scholar Awards Guidance document has been created. Please consult the document for requirements, review criteria, and more information about collecting, creating, and organizing the application materials. Table of contents templates are available. Any submitted nomination and application materials that do not adhere to the new requirements will be discarded.

The Division of Research is pleased to accept nominations for the 2024 Barrick Scholar Awards. Nominations, including the completed application packet and materials supporting the nomination, are invited November 29, 2023 - January 10, 2024, 11:59pm. The Barrick Scholar Awards are designed to recognize faculty members who have established a record of distinguished research or have demonstrated excellence in the area of creative activity. These awards are funded by an endowment from the late Marjorie Barrick and are made following recommendations of a committee of former recipients. The Provost’s Office selects the final honorees. These awards are based principally on the quality and quantity of research publication or creative activity, which is judged to be extraordinary and distinguished. Only full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty who have completed at least three years of full-time employment at UNLV prior to the application deadline are eligible for these awards. Candidates must be nominated by an NSHE employee. The awards are offered in two categories: The Barrick Distinguished Scholar Award which is presented to faculty members with 10 years of service or more in an academic environment after the terminal degree. This award carries a $5,000 stipend. The Barrick Scholar Award which is presented to faculty members with fewer than 10 years of service in an academic environment after the terminal degree. This award carries a $2,500 stipend.
