RE: Availability - Lecturer Professional Development Funds
As part of the new Memorandum of Understanding between the University and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), each campus has been asked to establish a Professional Development Fund for non-Senate Faculty who are covered by the agreement. All Lecturers are eligible to apply.
Attached is information concerning the types of awards and a copy of the award application form. I also wish to call to your attention the following important details:
- Funding for this program is limited and the anticipated demand will no doubt exceed our ability to fund all proposals. There is a total of $27,467 available for the 2006-07 academic year. Therefore, you are encouraged to provide realistic rankings of requests.
- Your signature, and that of the Chair, on the project summary sheet should accompany the proposal. This helps to ensure that you have seen all the proposals and have had a chance to rank them according to the criteria. Chairs and Deans are encouraged to add comments and recommendations on Tier 2 Award applications.

If you have any questions, please contact Chanthou Sung, Sr. Administrative Analyst in the Office of Academic Personnel, at (949) 824-5103 or via electronic mail at csung@uci.edu.
