    Purdue Agriculture Research Award winners

    Established in 1982, the Agricultural Research Award recognizes research excellence by a Purdue Agriculture faculty member with less than 15 years experience beyond the PhD.
    The award consists of a plaque, a $1,500 honorarium funded by earnings in the Charles Guthrie Patterson Memorial Endowment and Matthew Morgan Hamilton Funds, and $10,000 for the recipient’s research program.
    Purdue Agriculture Research Programs bestows this award annually to recognize a scientist who has demonstrated a high level of excellence in the application of scientific principles to the solution of important research problems and who has, through his or her research, made significant contributions to agriculture, natural resources, and the quality of life of Indiana citizens.
