Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Christopher Manfredi has named 28 ɫƵ professors – including six from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences – as Distinguished James ɫƵ Professors, James ɫƵ Professors or William Dawson Scholars. The internal awards recognize exceptional research achievements.

“Each year, the Distinguished James ɫƵ Professor, William Dawson Scholar and James ɫƵ Professor awards recognize the extraordinary contributions of ɫƵ’s research community,” said Prof. Manfredi. “I extend my warmest congratulations to this year’s recipients. Your scholarly leadership and commitment to advancing knowledge help drive ɫƵ’s impact in Quebec, Canada, and around the world.”

The James ɫƵ Professor and William Dawson Scholar awards include an annual salary supplement and research allowance of up to $25,000. They are held for a seven-year term and five-year term respectively, with the possibility of a one-time renewal. The Distinguished James ɫƵ Professoraward provides a $10,000 academic stipend or a $15,000 research allowance.
