That initial period is now over and UCR International Affairs seeks to form a campus-wide Scholars-At-Risk Coordinating Committee to undertake the following tasks: * Review the past program and its efforts to identify and place scholars-at risk; * Explore ways to promote and raise campus-wide awareness of the program; * Engage with faculty across the campus to identify potential hosts for scholars-at-risk; * Explore effective ways to cooperate with SAR and IIE-SRF in identifying and placing scholars; * Explore other ways, short of hosting scholars, that UCR faculty could contribute to assisting international scholars-at-risk; * Develop strategies for fundraising, including grant writing, in order to sustain the program. Active participation on the SAR Coordinating Committee will be recognized as a campus service contribution in faculty merit and promotion files. Interested faculty should contact SAR representative, Professor David Lloyd: dclloyd at ucr.edu. Thank you for considering to join this inaugural committee!

To apply, please visit: https://grad.ucr.edu/register/Gilliam_Fellowship by September 14, 2022. ---- The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is a prestigious funder of the life sciences. As well as supporting individual faculty in their research the Institute is also a strong supporter of training opportunities for students. The Gilliam Fellowships for Advanced Study is a fellowship opportunity that will support a Graduate Student and their Faculty Mentor. "The goals of the Gilliam program are to ensure that persons from populations historically excluded from and underrepresented in science are prepared to assume leadership roles in science, including as college and university faculty, and to foster the development of a healthy and inclusive academic scientific ecosystem. The program awards grants to pairs of dissertation advisers and their graduate students, and encourages the grantee institution and the adviser to hold themselves accountable for creating an environment that advances diversity and inclusion." Our campus has the opportunity to nominate 2 mentor/mentee pairs who will then be allowed to submit full applications to HHMI. The HHMI nomination deadline is September 29th 2022. Our internal Graduate Division deadline is September 14th 2022. I appreciate this is a quick turnaround for your internal application. To simplify this process we are requesting only: 1. Name of Mentor 2. Dept. 3. CV/Biosketch 4. Statement of mentorship: to address broadly your mentorship experience and philosophy as well as specifically towards your nominated mentee. 5. Name of Mentee 6. Graduate Program 7. CV/biosketch 8. Research Project 9.

Note that President Biden's actions this week did not extend the October 31 deadline for applying for expanded eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. If you have federal student loans (including parent loans), you are likely eligible for cancellation of your entire remaining federal debt following 10 years of working full-time for UC (or another qualifying employer) and making loan payments. Eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program has been expanded under a time-limited waiver that currently expires October 31, 2022. Even borrowers who were previously ineligible or missed payments can now receive PSLF. Note that it is critical to start the application process now since it takes time to get the necessary paperwork from UC and the U.S. Department of Education. Please visit the UC Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) page here to check your eligibility and start your application. We expect a surge of applicants who will need their UC employment certified well before the October 31 deadline, so it is important to apply right away. For more information, please attend one of two town halls on August 31 at 10 AM and 2 PM. For details and registration, see the UC Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) page at: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/working-at-uc/public-service-loan-forgiveness.html. You must register before you are able to attend the town halls. Please note that even though these town halls are being hosted by Fidelity, the speakers will be experts from the U.S. Department of Education and UC faculty. /s/ Jason Jason Stajich Riverside Division Academic Senate Chair -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
