The University Creative Endeavor Award recognizes distinct, exceptionally creative work with extraordinary impact and significance to the field of study performed by an established researcher. This award is not for lifetime achievement, but for a single contribution or a series of creative endeavors.
Creative endeavors typically go beyond traditional research methods by incorporating elements of imagination, artistic expression and unconventional thinking. Creative endeavors often seek to generate new perspectives, challenge existing paradigms and produce outcomes that are not only intellectually rigorous but also contribute to the broader realms of creativity, culture and innovation.
A nominee must be UT Austin faculty (tenured/tenure-track or professional track) and/or permanent full-time research staff with a current appointment at the time of nomination and award. UT students, postdocs, research associates, visitors and temporary staff are not eligible for this award.
