Nominations
Awards are made through a competitive exercise. Heads of relevant Institutions are invited in the Summer to nominate candidates whom they consider meet the criteria and are able to make an outstanding contribution over and above the normal expectations for their level of appointment. Heads of Institutions also recommend whether the award should be for a Senior or Junior Fellowship as appropriate.
While Fund Managers are willing to consider ad hoc nominations and appointments throughout the year, the Managers meet annually in the Michaelmas Term to consider nominations and supporting proposals.
The deadline for nominations this year is Monday 9 October 2023
