Innovation Partnerships is seeking nominations for the 2025 Distinguished University Innovator of the Year award, the university’s highest honor for faculty who have shown leadership in bringing new ideas to the marketplace.
The award honors faculty who have made important and lasting contributions to society by developing novel ideas and insights through their research and then translating them to practice.

It was established in 2007 by the Office of the Vice President for Research and is supported by endowments from the office and the Stephen and Rosamund Forrest Family Foundation.
