RSCAP Summer Fellowship Applications Due Feb. 5

The Faculty Subcommittee on Sponsored Programs (FSSP) announces the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 2007/08 RSCAP Summer Fellowship program. RSCAP Summer Fellowship grants assist faculty in initiating, continuing or completing research, scholarship and creative activity projects. Proposals are due in the ORSP office, Stevenson 1050, by 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008.

The RFP and application cover sheet may be accessed at the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs web site: (http://www.sonoma.edu/aa/ORSP). Paper copies are also available through ORSP Carol Hall, Administrative Support Coordinator, 4-2448, Stevenson 1050.

Funding for the RSCAP program is allocated annually to each CSU campus by the State Legislature. The intent of the legislation is to assist faculty in their efforts to remain current in their disciplines, pursue new ways to enrich student learning, and contribute to knowledge that will strengthen California socially, culturally and economically. The legislative guidelines also emphasize the importance of encouraging and supporting untenured faculty.
