Q: If some colleagues and I are admitted as a team, do we get to pool our budgets together?

A: No. If you and a colleague are developing a project together, the maximum $10k limit still applies. The stated $10K per year per Fellow is a maximum limit and is not an expected level of funding for every project. 

The earliest milestones for the PCF program are developing a research plan and submitting a corresponding budget. The proposed budget will be rigorously reviewed by CTL in alignment and support of the proposed research plan. The only exception for additional funding for a team sharing one project budget would be for the “Conference Engagement” budget item. Teams of two or more individuals can request additional funds to enable all members of the team to attend a SoTL-related conference. These requests can be discussed and negotiated with CTL during the budget planning phase.
