The Honours and Awards Opportunities for Faculty database is an online tool on the Research and Innovation website that offers:
- Permanent entries for over 150 major national and international honour and award opportunities, with up-to-date confirmed or projected deadlines and nomination parameters
- Browsing and searching capabilities available to any user with a UTORid
- Filtering by keyword, discipline, career stage, and other parameters
- Guidelines to U of T’s internal processes for awards that require institutional nominations
- Information about previous U of T winners, where applicable

Deadlines are projected up to two years into the future, aiding planning for opportunities that occur biennially or for which deadlines have recently passed
