Hi everyone,
See attached regarding an opportunity to change your IR/OR split.  I doubt anyone will be interested in doing this, but please let me know if you are.

Dear CNAS Chairs,

Hiring practices and changes in research focus can impact the AES FTE held by an individual faculty member.  These factors, along with faculty separations with high AES percentages, mean that CNAS AES FTE in total is at risk of decline.  Therefore, we are announcing the opportunity to rebalance/change existing AES FTE percentages as well as to add new AES FTE and rebalance I&R appointments for all faculty in CNAS. A rebalance call  will be initiated in February of each year.

Any faculty member with a research focus consistent with our AES mission (provided below) can hold an AES appointment.  We have provided the attached graphic to describe the timeline & expectations of an AES FTE appointment, including initiation of AES appointments or rebalancing of any existing AES appointments.  For example, in some cases, particularly where a faculty member qualifies for a greater participation in NSTP, we are able to rebalance OR/I&R appointment to allow for a greater I&R FTE.

Benefits of an AES appointment include the opportunity to participate in the AES Research & GSR Funding Program, which offers an AES research support award (approximately $5000 per PI participant in FY22) and GSR support of a 1-quarter 50% GSR@ Step III (FY22 value approximately $12,344).  Finally, additional funding is provided to your department to support AES activities via the Hatch S&E Allocation (based on AES FTE).

The CNAS FTE Rebalance call is now open, specifics are below:
1.     All CNAS Faculty can participate in the AES Rebalance call
2.     Rebalance aims to provide 25% OR appointment when faculty research portfolio is consistent with the AES mission statement
3.     Rebalance requests to change FTE are restricted to the I&R components only, CE component cannot be changed
4.     The Chair must submit the request to the Divisional Dean by March 31 (Attached is the FTE Change Request Form)
5.     If the request is approved, the FTE will be effective July 1

6.     New Faculty participating in the AES FTE Rebalance will be eligible to participate in this year’s AES Research and GSR Funding Program Application cycle (March 1 - May 1)

7.     AES Research and GSR funding requires an active Hatch project by July 1


Agricultural Experiment Station Mission Statement:
The mission of the Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) at the University of California, Riverside is to discover and disseminate research-based knowledge to ensure an abundant and nutritious food supply, protection of natural resources, healthy people and communities, and economic and ecological sustainability for the future of California, the nation, and the world. The AES at UCR is part of the broader University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR), whose vision is to address the challenges to the state to ensure a high quality of life, a healthy environment, and economic success for future generations.

Note: Requests for a department transfer, an increase in I&R FTE or for adjustment of CE FTE are separate processes and may require additional levels of approval.

Questions are welcome.

Thanks,
Jennifer
