Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Award

The College of Engineering will recognize the interdisciplinary research contributions of faculty and research staff by awarding the Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Award. Funds for these awards are made possible by an endowment established by John H. and Mildred C. Lumley. The award(s) will be presented at the annual College of Engineering Faculty Awards Banquet to a team of faculty and/or research scientists who have demonstrated significant research collaboration that cuts across departmental or discipline boundaries.

Not currently accepting nominations.

Criteria

While individuals associated with specific Centers will be considered, the Centers themselves may not be nominated under this category.

Up to three Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Awards will be given. Teams should include at least two members from different departments. The team can include members from other colleges at Ohio State. Under exceptional circumstances, team members may be from the same department but it is the department chair’s responsibility to make a case as to why the team should be considered interdisciplinary.

Awardees will be selected on the basis of the interdisciplinary research accomplishments at The Ohio State University during the five-year period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2024. Demonstration of these accomplishments will be made as per the attached guidelines and format.

Nominations

NOTE: Please read the full nomination criteria and guidelines (a PDF that will open in a separate window or tab) carefully as the process has changed to make it more streamlined.

The attached package includes a nomination cover sheet and format instructions for submitting a nomination. Nominations can only be made by department chairs. Each department chair can nominate no more than one team, although he/she can support nominations made by other chairs.

Deadline

The application materials need to be submitted electronically and must be submitted by January 05, 2025.
