The Department of Pediatrics Best Researcher Contribution by a <30% FTE Researcher
This award aims to recognize members of Faculty who produce high quality research output despite relatively limited protected research time. These Faculty members may be less likely to receive awards from other sources (given that they have other clinical, administrative or teaching responsibilities which impact their overall recognition in the field of research). The Faculty of Pediatrics leadership wishes to celebrate the research endeavours from this group of physicians.
Nomination Process
The nominator must be a faculty member of the Department of Pediatrics. The supporter of nomination must be a faculty member within the Department of Pediatrics.
