UB Excellence in Research, Scholarship and Creativity
The UB Awards for Excellence in Research, Scholarship and Creativity recognize outstanding contributions from each decanal area that achieve superiority in presentation, content, and scope, and which therefore merit acknowledgement as efforts worthy of university-wide distinction. The University at Buffalo is pleased to recognize student projects that exhibit the highest characteristics of achievement among this select group. (This began as an undergraduate award category. In 2018, it was expanded so an award is presented to both an undergraduate and a graduate project from each decanal unit.)
