The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health Dean’s Research Staff Awards honor outstanding contributions by research staff working in research laboratories.
In 2025, the inaugural year of the awards, the award recipients were selected by a subcommittee of the Basic Sciences Strategic Leadership Committee. Up to four awards will be given each year.
Awards are $1,000 each and were presented by the dean at SMPH Collaborate on Nov. 7, 2025 from 3-4 p.m. in the Health Sciences Learning Center.
