University staff who have demonstrated exceptional contributions in the areas of research, teaching, administration and philanthropy can be recommended for recognition.
Nominees are sought from all levels within institutions, particularly staff in manual, clerical and supporting positions, according to a letter from the Higher Education Funding Council for England circulated on 6 July.

The names of all nominees must be submitted electronically to the Cabinet Office. They will then be considered by two independent committees.
