Peggy Schachte Research Mentor Award accepting nominations


Nominations are being accepted for the Peggy Schachte Research Mentor Award.

This award was established by an endowment from the College of Medicine in honor of Margaret P. (Peggy) Schachte, who founded and served as director of the MUSC Office of Research Development from 1993 to 2009. During her tenure, Schachte recognized the significance of research mentorship and played a major role in initiating and championing research mentorship activities at MUSC.

The purpose of this award is to recognize individuals at MUSC who mentor faculty in obtaining research support from private and public organizations or government agencies. The award is aimed at a faculty mentor or other colleague who is widely recognized as an outstanding research mentor who encourages and supports the advancement of others as successful, extramurally funded investigators. The mentorship must have led directly to a significant research grant award to a mentored faculty member with a rank no higher than associate professor at the time of receiving the research grant award. The Research Mentor Award will be presented at the annual MUSC Faculty Convocation and will include $1,000 as part of the recognition.

Nominations are accepted from all MUSC faculty and staff. The nominating package should include the full curriculum vitae of the nominee with examples of research mentorship activities; three supporting letters from MUSC faculty, postdoctoral fellows, students, or staff attesting to the research mentorship activities of the nominee; and a letter from the nominator (not to exceed 1,000 words) summarizing the nominee's background and achievements as a research mentor. All nominations should be sent to: Stephen M. Lanier, Ph.D., associate provost for research, c/o Robin Hanckel (hanckelr@musc.edu) Colcock Hall, MSC 002. For information, call 792-4333.

The deadline for nominations is June 14.
