The Call for Applications below contains more information, including eligibility requirements, expectations of committee membership, and application guidelines. Applications to serve on the SL-RSCA Proposal Review Committee are due via InfoReady no later than 4:30pm on Friday, April 30, 2026.
Applications will be reviewed by the Vice Provost for Research and RSCA Program Administrator in the Office of Sponsored Programs.
