ASU Knowledge Enterprise is pleased to invite nominations of ASU faculty for the Enrico Fermi Award. While there is no limit to the number of nominations ASU can put forward, Research Development is offering to support the development of nomination materials for those who wish to formally pursue the award. This is especially critical if the nominee would benefit from a letter of support from ASU leadership.

To submit an internal name(s) for this nomination, please visit our InfoReady portal: https://asu.infoready4.com/#freeformCompetitionDetail/1903732. Submissions are due by June 5 to be considered for support from Research Development.
