Description
The Barrick Scholar Awards recognize University of Nevada Las Vegas faculty who have established a distinguished research record or demonstrated excellence in creative activity. Administered through the Division of Research and supported by an endowment from the late Marjorie Barrick, the awards honor scholarly achievement rather than fund a specified research project or subject area.
Recognition is based principally on the quality and quantity of research publications or creative activity judged extraordinary and distinguished. The program offers Scholar and Distinguished Scholar categories, with recommendations made by a committee of former recipients. Review also considers disciplinary impact, national or international prestige and recognition, and mentoring accomplishments.
