Committee for Teaching & Scholarly Development
The Committee for Teaching and Scholarly Development (CTSD) solicits and reviews proposals for a number of competitive faculty development programs administered by CAS. These include applications for summer research stipends, course development stipends, and course release awards. The Committee also reviews faculty requests for funding to employ research assistants through the Faculty Research Assistant Program (FRAP) and the summer FRAP (SFRAP) programs.
Six tenured or tenure-track members of the CAS faculty are appointed by the Dean for two-year terms, with two members representing each division; an appointment may be renewed a second term. A CAS associate dean, designated by the Dean, serves as convener (non-voting), and manages proposal submission, review, and communication regarding funding decisions.
During the term of service, committee members are not eligible to apply for awards that involve direct funding or release time to the faculty member. All committee recommendations are advisory to the dean of CAS.
