Welcome
ORSP's Research, Scholarship, and Creative Works Awards Initiative
At the Âé¶¹Çø (DU), research is central to our mission of advancing knowledge, tackling complex challenges, and creating solutions that make a difference in the world. As a Carnegie-classified R1 institution, DU is recognized nationally for its high level of research activity, scholarly achievement, and commitment to innovation. Our faculty are scholars, innovators, and leaders whose work fuels discovery, enriches communities, and drives societal progress.
The Research, Scholarship, and Creative Works (RSCW) Awards Program was established to celebrate and honor this excellence. Through a series of annual awards, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) recognizes faculty at every stage of their career—emerging, established, and eminent leaders—in research, scholarship, and creative works.Ìý
These awards reflect DU’s deep commitment to fostering a vibrant and inclusive culture. They shine a spotlight on the creativity, rigor, and collaboration that define our community, while highlighting the local, national, and global impact of DU scholars.
We invite you to explore the award categories and consider nominating a colleague whose contributions embody the spirit of discovery, expression, and innovation that drives DU forward.
