In AY 2021-2022, CoSS piloted a Professional Development and RSCA (PDR) fund. We are pleased to announce that PDR fund will continue in AY 2022-2023. This program replaces CoSS Travel Awards, CoSS Just-In-Time Funding, and Departmental operational funds RSCA and Professional Development funding mechanisms.  

Departments have been instructed that state-funded operational funds should not be used to fund individual faculty RSCA or professional development activities.

  • 1-3 WTU = $150
  • 4-6 WTU = $300
  • 7-9 WTU = $450
  • 10-12 WTU = $600
