At its 1309th meeting held on 22 July 2015, the UP Board of Regents approved the allocation of P100 Million per year for the period January 2016 - December 2018 for approximately 800 professorial chair awards and faculty grant awards to be distributed among academic units across all the Constituent Universities. Named One UP Professorial Chair (PC) Awards and Faculty Grant (FG) Awards, these aim to further provide recognition and incentives to faculty members who demonstrate outstanding performance in two out of three work areas of the faculty: teaching, research or creative work, and public service.
The One UP Professorial Chair (PC) Awards and One U.P. Faculty Grant (FG) Awards are funded through the General Appropriations Act. Per the General Appropriations Act for FY 2022, Php 103 million has been earmarked for the awards. To encourage a higher standard of performance among the faculty, the Board of Regents approved the continuity of the awards subject to the availability of funds. The revised guidelines have also been approved by the Board at its 1340th meeting last 3 December 2018 to allow more faculty to apply. The call for applications will be announced by the Office of the President at a later date.
Terms & Conditions
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Faculty members are invited to apply for the 2022-2024 One UP Professorial Chair Awards and Faculty Grant Awards (One UP PC & FG Awards), which are intended to further provide recognition and incentives to those who demonstrate outstanding performance in two out of three work areas of the faculty: teaching, research or creative work, and public service.
Faculty members are asked to indicate targets for self-improvement in the three work areas and how they can contribute to their academic unit, the university, and the country in the next three years. This is based on the principle that one’s performance is, first and foremost, inner- or self-driven. The targets will not be considered part of the criteria for the current award which is based on past accomplishments.
