ADEA/ADEA Council of Students, Residents and Fellows/Colgate-Palmolive Co. Junior Faculty Award
Purpose
The American Dental Education Association (ADEA), the ADEA Council of Students, Residents and Fellows (ADEA COSRF) and Colgate-Palmolive Co. wish to recognize outstanding junior faculty who demonstrate excellence in teaching, research and service and a commitment to dental education. Junior faculty represent a unique group of educators who symbolize the future of dental education. Often, the contributions made by these faculty go unnoticed, influencing faculty retention. It is anticipated that this award will acknowledge the accomplishments of junior faculty and promote awareness of the needs of this distinct group of educators.
Overview
The recipient will receive a $2,500 award to be used to enhance his or her teaching, research and service efforts.
The award will be announced at the 2022 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition in Philadelphia, PA, March 19-22, 2022.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants are to be initially identified and recognized within individual institutions or programs of dental education. Ideally, identification and recognition of candidates will be coordinated by the local ADEA Chapter. If an ADEA Chapter does not exist, it is recommended that the institution either establish a Junior Faculty Award nomination review committee (comprised of ADEA COSRF representative(s), ADEA Council of Faculties or Council of Allied Dental Program Directors representatives, and the dean) or convene an existing committee that includes a student representative.
The final selection will be made by a national selection committee comprised of representatives from the ADEA Council of Students, Residents and Fellows, the ADEA Council of Faculties, the ADEA Council of Deans, the ADEA Council of Allied Dental Program Directors, and an officer of the ADEA Board of Directors and the ADEA President and CEO (ex officio).
An applicant must:
- Demonstrate excellence in teaching, research or service.
- Have held a full-time predoctoral or advanced dental education faculty appointment at an ADEA Member Institution for no more than five years.
- Have no more than five years of experience in academia.
- Be an ADEA Individual Member.
