D. Wynne Thorne Career Research Award

The D. Wynne Thorne Career Research Award is Utah State’s most prestigious career research recognition for senior faculty, and it includes a $7,500 honorarium. The basis of selection for the award is the significance and quality of research or creative achievement, as distinct from service or teaching. Recognition of one’s work by experts of national and international standing is a key indicator of its importance; hence, evaluations from outside the university will be sought for each full professor nominee.
