Building a strong research profile goes beyond publications and grants; academic awards and prizes can play a critical role in advancing your career and strengthening the reputation of your institution. Yet, many researchers are not fully aware of the opportunities and benefits that awards can provide.

In this session, Mona Rahman, Research Awards Officer (VPR), outlined the value of the award nomination process and shared strategies to help participants identify suitable opportunities and prepare strong applications.

After attending this session, participants were able to:

  • Identify different types of academic awards and understand their potential impact at various career stages.
  • Apply strategies to effectively position themselves for award nominations.
  • Recognize how awards contribute to both individual career advancement and institutional reputation.

This session was designed for early-career researchers and faculty who sought a better understanding of the academic awards landscape and how to build an award portfolio for long-term success.

New research data storage guidance

From Queen's Health Sciences and Affiliated Teaching Hospital Research Ethics Board (HSREB) and General Research Ethics Board (GREB):

Researchers are advised to use the Research Data Storage Finder (RDSF) to determine the most appropriate storage option for their research data.

Previously, Microsoft OneDrive was promoted as a default research data storage solution; however, new storage limitations on OneDrive at Queen’s make it an unsuitable option depending on storage requirements.
