• Specificity. How has the nominee’s research been translated into practice? What impact has the translational research had at the community, state, and national levels? What problems were identified and addressed by the nominee’s work? What is the evidence of the success of this translational research effort?
• Impact. What is the impact of the nominee’s translational research? Who has been positively affected and to what extent? For examples and to review past award recipients, visit the TRIP website. 
• Interdisciplinarity. How is this translational research interdisciplinary? Which schools, departments, disciplines, community groups are involved? How does the nominee provide mentorship to other faculty, students, and community members?

Supporting documents must be submitted electronically and should include the following:

• An official nomination letter addressing specifically the way your nominee's work fits the award criteria
• A biosketch from the nominated faculty member that includes a personal statement highlighting his or her translational work and a list of publications and/or impact statistics most relevant to the translational work (biosketch no more than four pages total)
• Up to three nomination letters from national, international, and/or IUPUI faculty that include contact information in order for the selection committee to gather further comments on your nominee’s work, if required
• Uploaded files should be in PDF format. If documentation is not currently available electronically, it can be scanned. The Center for Teaching and Learning, University Library Room 1125, can assist with this process.
