FAQs
Q: Are retired/Emeritus faculty eligible?
A: Nominees are active members of SFUFA and hold a current appointment as a “Research Faculty Member” under the SFUFA Collective Agreement. The nominee’s duties include the performance of independent research. To meet our definition of nominee, they would need to hold a post-retirement contract and be an active SFUFA member.
Q: Are postdoctoral fellows eligible?
A: Postdocs can be nominated as part of team, but the award would be in the name of the faculty member as the lead nominee.
Q: Will requests for extensions to the eligibility window for a given award category be accepted?
A: Requests for extensions to the eligibility window for any award category will be assessed by the Research Excellence Awards Committee on a case-by-case basis during the adjudication process. These requests must be detailed and justified in the nomination letter (including the dates and type of any career interruptions or delays, if applicable).
Q: Will you accept support letters as part of the nomination package?
A: No. To ensure that all nominees receive a fair and consistent evaluation, we will only accept those documents that comprise the nomination package: the nomination form and the 5-page CV.
