The Dean’s Excellence Awards are annual honors to recognize outstanding contributions made by faculty across the School of Medicine—one to a junior faculty member (instructor or assistant professor) and the other to a senior faculty member (associate professor or full professor)—in the areas of service, teaching, research, mentorship and diversity enhancement. 

Awardees are selected through a peer-review process facilitated by a member of the dean’s leadership team.

Any full-time faculty member may nominate a faculty colleague for any of these awards. Nomination letters should specify the award, not exceed a length of one page (11-point font, one-inch margins) and be submitted as a paper or pdf document to Heather McGuire (FOT 1207 or hmcguire@uab.edu) by 5 p.m. Friday, March 22. Individual letters of support are not required and will not be considered by the selection committees as a matter of fairness to all nominees. A current copy of the nominated faculty member’s curriculum vitae should accompany the nomination letter.
