The Graduate School is now accepting nominations for the Vaughnie Lindsay New Investigator Award, which is made to tenure-track SIUE faculty members to bring recognition to and support individual programs of research or creative activities.

To be eligible, a nominee must have:

The Award can be received only once.  Nominees can be renominated as long as they meet the above requirements.
