Douglas R. Colton Medal for Research Excellence
Candidates for the award will have made significant contributions while completing graduate studies in the form of a Master's or PhD degree some time during the three years prior to nomination for the award. The three-year period provides time for the impact of the contribution to become more apparent, for example, through publications, citations, or commercial interest. The research must have been conducted primarily in Canada and have directly impacted industry in Canada and/or university research programs in Canada. The nominee must be either a Canadian citizen, landed immigrant or an individual who has been a Canadian resident for three years prior to the nomination. Nominees need not be currently pursuing academic studies or holding an academic appointment.
