Forty-two UW–Madison faculty have been awarded fellowships from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) for 2026-2027. The awardees span the four research divisions on campus: arts and humanities, physical sciences, social sciences and biological sciences.
“WARF Named Professorships, Kellett Fellowships, and Romnes awards represent some of the most meaningful investments in the people who drive discovery at UW–Madison,” says Dorota Brzezinska, vice chancellor for research. “These prestigious honors provide researchers with the recognition, flexibility, and support needed to pursue bold ideas, advance groundbreaking scholarship and address society’s most pressing challenges. Just as importantly, they affirm the university’s commitment to fostering excellence and empowering faculty to lead in their fields, inspire the next generation of scholars, and extend the Wisconsin Idea through research that benefits the world.”
