2024 Distinguished Scholars and Early Career Distinguished Scholars

The Distinguished Scholar Awards are among the highest annual honors Ohio State bestows on a faculty member in recognition of outstanding scholarly activity, research or creative works. This university-level award is awarded by the Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge.  ERIK coordinates the review of nominees and works with a team of reviewers to identify the recipients each year. In recognition of the different phases of a faculty member’s academic career, Ohio State has two separate awards:

• The Distinguished Scholar Award honors six faculty members who demonstrate scholarly activity, research or creative works which represent exceptional achievements in their fields and who have brought distinction to themselves and Ohio State.
• Early Career Distinguished Scholar Award honors three assistant professors and early associate professors (this year four) who show promise of making significant contributions to Ohio State and their field for years to come.
