Description

Name: Research Excellence Award

Number of Awards: Up to two. From nominations received, the BRAVO Selection Committee aims to select one individual award recipient and one team* award recipient.

*A team is defined as a group of employees who belong to the same or different units or departments and who are assigned to a specific project or function together for a period of time to accomplish shared goals. If in question as to whether a group is considered a team, please contact SARC prior to completing your application.

Who Can Nominate: All employees may submit nominations for their peers. Nominees may be full or part-time staff, and they may be in any employee group (administrative support, service support, professional/technical, faculty/instructors, management, contract/adjunct).

Award Value: The recipient(s) selected by the Staff Awards and Recognition Committee will receive: an engraved award, a $75 RED Card, an invitation to a lunch/reception with an RRC leader, and acknowledgement in Staff News and other media throughout the College community. Recipients will also become the “face” of the promotions for the next year’s award nominations. In the case of large team recipient groups, award values may have to be adjusted but all recipients will receive an invitation to the awards luncheon.
