Internal Award Nomination

  1. Get Ready
    • Review Program Guidelines (eligibility, deadlines and other important information) for the specific Internal Award program you are interested in.
    • Find appropriate application form for the award you are interested in or interested in nominating someone for.
  2. Write Nomination
    • Each award program has its own set of requirements for nomination, so be sure to follow the instructions in the Guidelines and Application.
    • The award nominations often require several pieces such as a cover page, a summary of work (usually written by the nominee), a letter from the nominator and external letters of support.  It is the responsibility of the nominator to complete the application and submit it to OVPR.  In cases where help from the nominee is needed, such as writing a summary of work or identifying authors for letters of support, then the nominator and nominee will work together.
    • In several cases, external letters are required.  Adequate lead time is needed to obtain external letters as this may take some time.
    • Please name the nomination PDF file in the following format – [Nominee Last Name], [Nominee First Name] [Initials of Award Program].  Examples of initials of the award program would be "RCA" for the Robert C. Anderson Memorial Award or "CRA – ACJ" for the Albert Christ-Janer Creative Research Award.
    • Every nomination will require documents to be attached to the PDF nomination form.  You may do this by clicking "Document – Insert Pages" then searching for the file to insert at the end of the nomination form.  If you are unable to attach it, you may send the documents as separate electronic files in the email or, in the case of CD submission, as a separate file on the CD.  Please label all separate attachment documents clearly. 
    • Paper hard copy nominations will no longer be accepted.
    • If you have submission application or submission issues, please email jhawks@uga.edu or call 706-542-5056.
  3. Submit to OVPR
    • The entire proposal should be submitted to OVPR Internal Grants & Awards by 5:00 p.m. on the deadline day.
    • All submissions are now electronic – either via email or CD.
    • Send email submissions to ovprip@uga.edu and CD submissions to OVPR c/o Jessica Hawks, 650 Boyd GSRC, CAMPUS.
