• Category A - The Dean will provide the VPRI with the list of new registrations for assigned time under the RSCA AT program for AY 2022-2023 for probationary faculty members meeting the college-specific standards.

• Category C - The Dean will recommend to the VPRI which eligible tenured faculty members are to receive assigned time under the RSCA AT program for AY 2022-2023. The Dean determines the process for the selection within their college and may consider specific components of the application or the entire packet holistically. The guidance from the VPRI is that the recommendation be made with substantial consideration of the faculty member’s prior RSCA productivity. To assure transparency, the Dean’s office will publish, such as on the college web page, the methodology and the selection criteria. The Dean’s recommendation list must be submitted to the Office of Research in the Division of Research and Innovation (with a copy to the Office of the Provost), along with all candidates’ complete application packets, by April 21, 2022.
  
  The decision of which eligible faculty will receive assigned time through the RSCA AT program will be made by the VPRI in consultation with the Provost, weighing the Dean’s recommendations. The VPRI and Provost may, at their discretion, review the Dean’s recommendations and process to assure that the selected faculty members’ RSCA productivity meets university-wide standards. Faculty receiving RSCA AT awards will be notified by email by May 19, 2022 and will be required to DocuSign their acceptance of the RSCA AT award by May 27, 2022.
