A: As of the 2025-2027 cohort, the PCF program no longer accepts applications from departmental teams.
However, if you would like to specifically work on a PCF research project with a colleague, you should both submit individual applications and have each person indicate that they intend to work together on their application (“Are you applying to only participate in PCF on a team of 2 or more individuals?”). In this case, your admission into the program will be contingent on every team member individually being chosen to participate in PCF. If you and all identified team members are individually admitted, you can then choose to develop a shared SoTL research project in the early phases of the two-year program.
Please note that even if you are admitted as a team, each individual team member is held accountable for fulfilling all requirements of the program (e.g. monthly meetings, budget updates, sharing IRB status). Individuals should only apply for PCF if they intend to fully participate in the PCF program as described, and all team members have equal expectations to participate and meet program milestones in that regard.
