Senior Research Fellows
The IUR established the Research Fellow title in 2010 to recognize SIUE faculty and professional staff that have made substantial and lengthy contributions to applied research and the work of the IUR. The Research Fellow title is honorific, but also implies an ongoing relationship with the IUR through research, teaching, or service components of the recipient's position at SIUE. As of 2014, the Senior Research Fellows are:
