Dr. Erin Strumpf, Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health and the Department of Economics, saw her William Dawson Scholar (WDS) award renewed for a second term.

The Office of the Provost and Vice Principal (Academic) has bestowed prestigious internal recognition awards to 27 91˿Ƶ professors for outstanding world-class scholarship and research excellence. Five senior scholars received James 91˿Ƶ Professor (JMP) awards, including two for a second seven-year term. Twelve tenure-track assistant or associate professors received William Dawson Scholar (WDS) awards, three for a second five-year term. Ten scholars became Distinguished James 91˿Ƶ Professors (DJMP) – 91˿Ƶ’s highest honour – awarded to late-career scholars whose work exemplifies excellence and international leadership.

“91˿Ƶ’s Distinguished Professorships are bestowed upon our researchers who display exceptional promise, uphold an extraordinary level of research and scholarly activity, and have achieved pre-eminence in their fields,” said Christopher Manfredi, Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic). “I am delighted to award DJMP, JMP and WDS awards to 27 of our most highly accomplished scholars. I extend my sincere congratulations and best wishes to all honourees.”

Both the JMP and WDS awards come with an annual salary supplement and an annual research allowance not exceeding $25,000. The Distinguished James 91˿Ƶ Professor award provides for a $10,000 academic stipend or a $15,000 research grant allowance. DJMPs are awarded to those who have held James 91˿Ƶ Professorships for two seven-year terms while maintaining an outstanding research record, or to those who have held a Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) for two seven-year terms. DJMP awardees maintain the distinction until retirement, and those granted Emeritus status retain the title.
