This year's award competition has undergone a major program update in order to increase the recognition opportunities for NSU faculty and provide accessibility to faculty from all academic disciplines and career stages.
The Provost's Award program is transitioning from one annual award to four. The new program will have two disciplinary categories and two awards (one for early career and one for established faculty) within each category.
In this new program, the below four awards, given sufficient candidates in each category, will be awarded annually:

To recognize demonstrated achievement in research, scholarship, and creative pursuits by NSU faculty members. Faculty are recognized across disciplines and career stages for their achievements in these areas.
Research and scholarship are two of NSU's core values. The Provost's Research and Scholarship Awards (PRSA) recognize innovative and sustained activities in scholarly pursuits in support of NSU's mission to foster intellectual inquiry, academic excellence, research, and a dynamic learning environment. Excellence in faculty research and scholarship enhances education, patient care, and public service, which in turn develops superior scholarship.
These annual awards recognize distinguished accomplishments in the pursuit of research, creative, and scholarly activities across two broad disciplinary categories: 1) Arts, Business, Humanities, Law, and Social Sciences; and 2) STEM and Health/Medicine. Within these two categories, applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can apply as either Professors or Associate Professors for the “established faculty” award or as Assistant Professors for the “early career” award. Given sufficient candidates in each category, we expect to make up to four PRSA awards each year.
