Distinguished James Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Professors, James Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Professors, and William Dawson Scholars
In 2000, Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ created two internal recognition awards, the William Dawson Scholars and the James Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Professors, in parallel with the Canada Research Chair (CRC) program. These awards recognize the outstanding research contributions of tenure-track and tenured academic staff members at the University. The James Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Professor and William Dawson Scholar awards provide for an annual salary supplement in the form of a fixed academic stipend, and an annual research allowance. The combined total of the salary stipend and research allowance may not exceed $25,000.
Then, in 2017, the Distinguished James Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Professor award was created to recognize the sustained scholarship and achievements of Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾'s most accomplished tenured academic staff. The Distinguished James Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Professor award provides for a $10,000 academic stipend or a $15,000 research grant allowance. The award holder must select one of these options at the time of appointment, and may request a change once annually.
