Eligibility
This award is open to all members of the Alberta Colleges and Institutes Faculties Association (ACIFA). The research project may span part or all of the current academic year but must not exceed that time limit.
The Selection Process
Four members, selected on an annual basis from and by the Professional Affairs Committee of ACIFA, will select the final award winner from the nominees submitted by the local faculty associations. The local faculty association judging committees are to be selected and structured by the local faculty association as they deem appropriate for their association.
An effort will be made where possible to avoid assigning committee members to adjudicate applications from members from their own institution in the event of a perceived or real conflict of interest. To protect fairness and impartiality of the review process, committee members have a responsibility to recuse themselves from the process in the event of a perceived or real conflict of interest. In the event of a member recusing themselves, the remaining three (3) members will be permitted to make the final selection, with the input of the PAC Chair (if required).
