<p>FSU Career Plan for Awards</p><p>At FSU, the administration views faculty awards as an expected part of career development. There are benefits to both faculty and the institution when faculty work is reviewed for award consideration. Indeed, award application and nomination is another means of publicizing your work and expanding the discussion of your ideas. </p><p>The Office of Faculty Recognition is available to both guide your choice of award and to facilitate your application or nomination. As you map your developing career, please use the following as a guide for which kinds of awards are appropriate at each stage of career.</p><p>Early Career Awards After you have taught at FSU for two years, faculty of all ranks are eligible for:</p><p>FSU University Teaching Award: http://provost.fsu.edu/faculty/awards/information/eligibility.html</p><p>Five years after you have won a University Teaching Award, you are eligible for the FSU University Distinguished Teacher Award: http://provost.fsu.edu/faculty/awards/information/eligibility.html</p><p>FSU Honors Thesis Mentor Award: Contact Jeannette Adams Dümmer at [email protected]. </p><p>FSU Graduate Faculty Mentor Award: http://www.gradstudies.fsu.edu/Funding- Awards/Awards-and-Grants/Faculty-Awards</p><p>With five years of post-doctorate teaching, faculty of all ranks are eligible for:</p><p>Fulbright Scholar Award: http://www.cies.org/cies.htm</p><p>Many early career awards are limited to five years or ten years after the completion of the PhD. or to the ages of 35 or 40.
