Faculty Partnership Award

The Faculty Partnership Award recognizes outstanding staff who provide exceptional support to Emory faculty. This award is specifically for individuals who are not faculty members but who play a crucial role in faculty success through their dedication, expertise and service.

Honorees exemplify responsiveness, thoughtfulness and a strong commitment to faculty and their work in clinical, teaching and academic contexts. They are interpersonally skilled, exceptionally helpful and excel in their roles, and consistently going above and beyond. Whether through administrative support, technical expertise, research assistance or other vital contributions, these individuals make a lasting impact on the faculty they support and the broader Emory community.

Part-time or full-time staff from Emory University, Emory Healthcare, Grady Health System, Atlanta VA Health Care System or Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta who are currently supporting or collaborating with faculty are eligible to receive the Faculty Partnership Award. Staff who have received this award within the previous five years are ineligible.

A current faculty member or group of faculty may submit a nomination. A concise, < 2000-word narrative describing the attributes that distinguish the nominee as a faculty partner should accompany the nomination. These attributes include but are not limited to responsiveness, thoughtfulness, commitment to faculty, interpersonal skills, helpfulness, excellence in their role, going above and beyond. Additional letters (one page maximum per letter) from other faculty are welcome but not required. Do not provide more than five letters.

Send requests for further information and electronic submissions to Nadine J. Kaslow, PhD, ABPP. Submissions should include the nominating letter, name and contact information of the faculty member being nominated (Word or PDF), and additional letters of support from previous mentees, if applicable. We will accept nominations through midnight EDT July 1, 2025.

The departmental award review committee will select the award recipient via an email vote. The Chair of the Department will serve as an ex-officio member of the committee and will have input without a vote. Members of the committee will recuse themselves if they are nominated for a particular award. We will notify award winners by July 31, 2025.
