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. These Awards recognize faculty members whose research or creative activities have the promise of making significant contributions to their field of study.

To be eligible, a nominee must have:  

• earned the appropriate terminal degree in their discipline
• a regular full-time tenure or clinical track faculty position at the assistant professor level, which must be maintained throughout the award period (July 1-June 30 of the fiscal year following the award date).
• submitted their midpoint dossier for review within the last two academic years
• submitted completed final reports and fulfilled the terms and conditions, including submission of an external proposal, of projects previously funded by the SIUE Graduate School at least 5 business days before this program deadline.  (The nominator may email siueresearch@siue.edu to verify.)

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

Nominations must be submitted by a Department Chair or Dean via the Vaughnie Lindsay New Investigator Award Nomination form in Kuali Build no later than 4:30 p.m. on the third Monday in October (October 20, 2025).
