ISS Distinguished Fellow Award

INFORMS Information Systems Society Distinguished Fellow Award – 2022

Call for Nominations

This is a call for nominations for the ISS Distinguished Fellow Awards for 2022. The primary aim of the award is to recognize individuals who have made outstanding intellectual contributions to the information systems discipline.

Eligibility

The award selection committee recognizes the multi-dimensional nature of intellectual contributions and will pay attention to a variety of scholarly contributions, including, but not limited to:

  1. Publications that have made a significant impact on theory, research, and practice.
  2. Intellectual leadership in the discipline as reflected in editorial appointments, particularly of INFORMS journals.
  3. Intellectual stewardship of the field as reflected in the mentoring of doctoral students and young researchers.

Nominators are encouraged to provide the award selection committee with specific indicators of the nominee's contributions in these and other categories. An Award Selection Committee has been formed to recommend candidates for the award for 2022. The committee members are Gediminas Adomavicius, Anandhi Bharadwaj (Chair), Chris Forman, Olivia R. Liu Sheng (ex-officio, President-ISS). At this time, nominations for the award are invited from the information systems community at large. 

Submission Instructions

Though self-nominations are discouraged, anyone can submit a nomination to the President of ISS, Olivia Sheng, by email at: olivia.sheng@eccles.utah.edu (please state the subject as "Nomination for 2022 ISS Fellow"). The deadline for submission of nominations is August 17, 2022.

The nomination should include a brief (not to exceed two pages) description of the candidate's achievements and eligibility for the award, and should be accompanied with a CV and/or a bio. Members of the award selection committee may add other candidates at their discretion and judgment. One ISS member nomination is sufficient, multi-member nomination is not necessary.

The award selection committee will deliberate on the pool of nominees and make their recommendations to the Information Systems Society officers. Winners of the award will be informed on September 15, 2022. The 2022 ISS Distinguished Fellows will be announced during the 2022 Conference on Information Systems Technology at Indianapolis, Indiana. A plaque from the society will be presented. Organization details of this celebration event will be updated later.

It is a condition of the award that the Fellows be members of the Information Systems Society, and, except for unusual circumstances approved by the President of ISS, remain members of the Society until they retire from full-time work.
