Do not submit accomplishments from prior years or after December 31, 2005. For Group B nominees, publications which appeared during the four-year period bearing only Rensselaer affiliation are acceptable even though the actual work was done before January 1, 2002 or elsewhere before joining Rensselaer.

2.Nomination information is required in four categories. In addition, a Summary of Research Accomplishments is required. The format for the presentation as well as the required information is given in the attached format guideline. Nominations from research staff should follow the same format even though the format is more germane to nominations of faculty. Research staff nominations will be evaluated separately with much less emphasis on student involvement. Self nominations are permitted.

But, it is the department chair's responsibility to ensure that the nomination package is in strict accordance with the guidelines given here.

5. Recommendation letters from internal or external evaluators should not be sought or included in the nomination package.
