Congratulations to 2019-2020 RSCA Awardees
We would like to thank all faculty who submitted an application this year. Of the 53 applications submitted, we were able to award 18.
The California State University Chancellor’s Office allocates funds for RSCA, which represents a significant investment in faculty and its commitment to the university’s mission in serving California and the nation. We are appreciative of the work of the CSU, Chico faculty senate’s Internal Research Grants Committee (IRGC), who dedicated many hours to review and deliberation of this year’s applications. Given the number of applications and general excellence of the field of applicants, these decisions were very challenging.
