Description
Administered by UNLV’s Division of Research, the Harry Reid Silver State Research Award recognizes faculty whose research is highly regarded and responsive to community and state needs. Established in 2001 to honor the late Nevada Senator Harry Reid, the award carries a stipend recognizing significant research achievement.
Research may qualify through its positive effects on Nevada’s economic growth and development, its response to a relevant social need in the community or region, or its significant contribution to scholarship in an academic field. Applicants must meet at least one of these criteria, rather than all three. The university’s President presents the award at the annual Academic Achievement Awards Ceremony in the spring.
