Negotiated Salary Trial Program (NSTP) Call for FY22-23
UCR is entering year five of the NSTP Negotiated Salary Trial Program (NSTP) (trial period) FY22-23. Trial program period started July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022. FY 22-23 is the fifth and final year of the second phase of the trial. NSTP allows eligible lander rank faculty to utilize external sources to increase their total compensation. Participating faculty is required to generate the additional negotiated income. A Senate-Administrator taskforce system-wide was scheduled to review the program this past fall quarter with the goal to present a recommendation to the Provost early spring 2022 and to make determination if this program will be permanent. More information will be forthcoming.
NSTP Call for FY22-23 is in progress and applications are due to APO by Friday, May 13, 2022. Eligibility and procedures are available on the Academic Personnel Office website.
