    • All tenured/ tenure-track faculty and full-time lecturers (including .8s) in CPGE are eligible for Summer Research Stipends. However, new ADS tenure-track faculty who are receiving the two summers of support payare not eligible to apply while they are receiving those summer funds. 
    • Faculty who are also teaching during the summer are still eligible for these Summer Research Stipends. 
    • Recipients of Summer Research Stipends must submit a report documenting how they used the research stipend and what the RSCA outcome was by September 1st; they must also present the research they worked on during the summer as a virtual “brown bag” research presentation in the following academic year.
