Candidates' work may be a single meritorious contribution or a lifetime of superior accomplishments. Pioneers in their field, candidates are considered role models who inspire young Canadians to pursue careers in the health sciences.

Special Notes
Organizations can serve as nominators but only individuals can be nominated.
Nominations may remain active for up to three consecutive selection processes and may be supplemented at any time. You must be re-nominated if you have received official notice that an application will not go forward, or after the three-year period ends.
Please note that research activities carried out in the context of COVID-19 need to adhere to the University of Guelph COVID-19 research principles, policies, guidelines and processes as they may be updated from time to time and communicated on the Office of Research web-page [2].

If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.

- Complete the Expression of Interest document [3].
- Send the completed Expression of Interest document and a CV to research.honours@uoguelph.ca [4] and copy your College Research Manager by the internal deadline.
