Dean’s Research Staff Awards
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) 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.
