Awards and Grants

Funded research opportunities are a hallmark of faculty professional development. Here you will find information on the Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity (RSCA) Awards and other awards and grants funded by SF State University and the CSU.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR FALL 2009: Due to the state budget cuts, the CSU has suspended funding for the RSCA awards. There will be no applications for these awards during 2009-10. Faculty are encouraged to check Development Opportunities for sources of external grants and awards, and to visit the website of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP), which holds a wealth of information on funding opportunities.

The Center for Teaching and Faculty Development congratulates the following faculty, all of whom have been selected to receive RSCA Awards for 2009-2010.
