Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (RSCA) Awards Program
The annual Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (RSCA) Awards Program is an intramural faculty research grant program intended to support faculty research, scholarship, and creative activity, interpreted broadly to mean the disciplined quest for broadening human understanding.
The call for proposals is typically announced late Fall-early Spring and applications are due each Spring semester. This opportunity is open to all members of Unit 3. Applicants should request one of three possible categories of awards:
1) 3 WTUs of reassigned time;
2) Summer salary support; or
3) Mini-grants to purchase materials and supplies, travel to conduct research, and/or purchase equipment.
To encourage mentoring of students who engage in faculty-led RSCA projects, applicants may also request up to $1,500 in supplemental funding for student assistantship and/or student travel to present at a professional conference or meeting.
Congratulations to the 2024-25 RSCA Awardees!
