Office of the Vice-President (Research)

It’s time to nominate distinction. The deadline for the Marilyn Harvey Award to Recognize the Importance of Research Ethics is Aug. 17. The award was created to recognize individuals who have demonstrated leadership in creating an environment of excellence in the area of research ethics. Memorial values courage among members of its research community and, as such, has named this award in honour of Marilyn Harvey, BN, a research nurse who brought forward her concerns regarding research ethics to senior administrators at the university. The award is given annually to a student, staff or faculty member who has distinguished themselves by their actions and contributions to scholarly research and embodies the institution’s commitment to excellence in research ethics.
