Eligibility: Any member of the Ohio State Lima Faculty Assembly is eligible to receive this award. Article 1 of the Constitution of the Lima Campus Faculty Assembly defines the terms of membership in the Assembly. The URMC encourages applications from ALL DISCIPLINES. Given that the URMC evaluates project proposals from different areas and disciplines relative to their own, applicants are encouraged to include information in their application about any unique features of the project or particular obstacles within an area of study that would help inform committee members not familiar with the discipline about the merits of the project.
