Keiser University is proud to host the Doctoral Research Awards 2026, recognizing doctoral graduates whose work reflects academic excellence, innovation, and meaningful contributions to their fields. This annual recognition highlights the role of research in advancing knowledge and addressing real-world challenges.
The Doctoral Research Awards 2026 honor research completed by doctoral graduates in 2024 and 2025. This year, only 9% of nominees were selected to compete. Together, they represent a strong body of work across a range of disciplines. Each project reflects dedication, critical thinking, and a commitment to academic excellence.

The research presentations of the nominees are available on the Research and Scholarship Collaborative (RSC) page, showcasing their work and contributions. Through these presentations, viewers can gain insight into the scope and impact of doctoral research at Keiser University.
Once semifinalists are selected, the Keiser community and external audiences will have the opportunity to explore the presentations and help select the finalists. This stage supports the recognition of outstanding research.
The Doctoral Residency 2026, taking place July 14 to 17, will bring finalists together to present their research and compete for awards. During this time, participants will share their work and connect with others in the academic community.
