Safety in all academic and research endeavors is a core institutional value at the University of Michigan.
To recognize the tremendous efforts taken by staff and leaders throughout campus to support this important mission, the Research and Academic Safety Committee (RASC) has launched the Excellence in Research Safety Awards.
The awards will be given in two categories: Excellence in Research Safety and Excellence in Innovation.
Nominees should demonstrate a strong concern for safety and dedication to promoting a culture of safety within their area of responsibility, or lead innovations in their research or creative practice area that make processes simpler to execute while maintaining the highest standards of safety.
Eligibility is limited to Ann Arbor campus research and academic areas inspected by Environment, Health & Safety, which excludes Michigan Medicine. Eligible nominees must meet at least one of the criteria outlined on the Research Safety website.
Awardees will receive a $500 honorarium and be formally recognized during the Annual Safety Summit held by the Research and Academic Safety Committee on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
Nominations are due Friday, April 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM.
