Faculty Awards

The Office of the Provost seeks to promote and pursue excellence in the university's academic units. To that end, this site provides direct links to a number of faculty awards that are reoccurring and support original research investigation and creative productivity. The list, though not comprehensive, highlights some prestigious awards, fellowships, and honors earned in past years by UT Dallas faculty.

The list may be filtered by using the toggle arrows at the top of each column. The links will take you to the award description, submission requirements, and in some cases, lists of previous award recipients.

The Office of the Provost welcomes suggestions and additions. You may submit these by emailing Associate Provost Dr. Mehrdad Nourani (nourani@utdallas.edu) or his assistant Cerise Hawker (cerise.hawker@utdallas.edu).
