CAPEES-Nanova Frontier Research Awards

In principle, one award will be given in 2023 to recognize an outstanding tenured or tenure-track professor who is considered a pioneer in a research area of Environmental Science and Engineering with original and widely recognized contributions. The awardee will receive an award certificate (or a plaque) and a cash award of $1,000. In the case of having two highly qualified candidates, two awards may be conferred with each awardee receiving a certificate (or a plaque) and a cash award of $500.
