The Chancellor's and Provost's Awards for Excellence in Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity honor App State faculty members for superior achievement in their fields. A committee of faculty members from each academic college and University Libraries selects the recipients, who are nominated by chairs, deans or other faculty, or are self-nominated. Two awards are conferred per year — the Chancellor's Award and the Provost's Award, which celebrate the research, scholarship and creative endeavors of faculty and staff.
