The Travis Stimeling Award for Mentoring Undergraduates in Research is designed to recognize and honor graduate and faculty members who demonstrate excellence in mentoring undergraduate researchers. Nominations are open for individuals in all disciplines and areas of research. Nominations for the 2026 Travis Stimeling Award are open through Jan. 18, 2026.
Do you know a faculty member, post-doc, or graduate student who goes above and beyond in mentoring undergraduates in research or creative work? Strong nominations often come from multiple sources: (students, faculty colleagues, department chairs, or deans) and help highlight the nominee’s impact.
Awards will be announced in the spring. Let’s celebrate those who make undergraduate research thrive. Submit your nomination.
