Does the institution have a program to encourage faculty sustainability research that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage faculty research in sustainability:
The CSU Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (FRSCA) program was established through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Chancellor's Office and the California Faculty Association (CFA). The CSU agreed to budget $2.5 million annually to be divided among all the campuses of the CSU system according to campus Full Time Equivalent Faculty (FTEF). Guidelines requiring a campus-wide competition were developed by the Chancellor's Office, the CSU Academic Senate, and the CFA for the Chancellor's Office funds.
This year the Chancellor's Office allocated $25,192 to CSUMB, based upon faculty FTEF. Faculty may apply for mini-grant funds up to $5000 or one-month summer salary. Awards will be made for projects conducted between Summer 2011 and Fall 2011.
The COAST Faculty Research Incentive Award Program provides support to CSU tenured/tenure-track faculty members to develop and submit full proposals to external funding agencies and organizations for marine and coastal research and educational projects.
