The Graduate School is now accepting nominations for the Hoppe Research Professor Award, which is made to SIUE faculty members in order to bring recognition to and support individual programs of research or creative activities. Faculty must be nominated by their Department Chair and/or Dean. These awards recognize faculty members whose research or creative activities have the promise of making significant contributions to their fields of study. Recipients are expected to produce published scholarly works and externally sponsored funding.

Eligibility: A nominee must have: 

• a regular SIUE full-time tenured or clinical track faculty position at the associate professor level at the time of nomination and maintained throughout the award period (July 1-June 30 of the fiscal year following the award date).
• completed final reports and fulfilled the terms and conditions, including submission of an external proposal, of projects previously funded by the SIUE Graduate School at least 5 business days before this program deadline. (The nominator may contact siueresearch@siue.edu to verify.)

Nominees can be renominated if they meet the above requirements.  The Award can be received only once.  All qualified candidates are encouraged to be nominated, including minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and protected veterans. 

To apply, department chairs and/or deans must submit their nominations in the Hoppe Research Professor Award form in Kuali Build by 4:30pm on the second Wednesday in February (February 11, 2026).
