He has received more than $3 million in extramural funding, published more than 90 peer-reviewed articles, and given more than 150 conference presentations.

He was named a fellow of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies in 2021. He has also won multiple teaching and mentorship awards, including Mason’s Teaching Excellence Award (2015) and the Distinguished Mentor Award from the American Psychological Association’s Society for Military Psychology (2021). Renshaw has also been highly active in service and leadership at Mason, receiving the David W. Rossell Quill Award in 2019. He served as Faculty Senate chair and faculty representative to the university’s Board of Visitors from 2016 to 2019. He has also served in a leadership role on a number of university task forces and work groups.

In 2020, Renshaw led the creation of Mason’s Military, Veterans, and Families Initiative. As director of the initiative, he is overseeing the formation of community partnerships, development of new programs, and fundraising efforts.
