Trendsetter Awards Instructions
Recognizing the importance of highlighting faculty who are highly effective in their research and creative activity output, the Office of Research Development developed the Trendsetter Award to identify noteworthy scholars in three categories, with the goal of recognizing emerging, mid-career, and late career or “eminent” faculty. All faculty (including clinical) with at least two years of service at ECU, regardless of tenure status, department, school and/or college and field of study are welcome to be nominated. Applications should consist of a current CV and Chair or Director letter of support.
