Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to forward information about the Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP). This program provides an excellent opportunity to support students and faculty on your campuses who desire to pursue a doctoral degree and teach in the CSU. It is an excellent way to recruit and retain outstanding faculty who can even more effectively serve our students. I am very proud that we have one of the largest programs of this nature in the country.

The Chancellor’s Office administers this program on your behalf. We hope that you will support your CDIP Coordinators in publicizing the opportunity to faculty and setting up the necessary review process. Ultimately, we will appreciate receiving your participant nominations by March 11, 2016.

The HR memorandum that will be distributed to your CDIP Coordinators is attached (HR 2015-12) and contains details about the program for those of you who may not be as familiar.

If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
