column 1
Offered through the Office of the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the TRP offers a $1,500 increment to the annual base salary of faculty who have documented their teaching excellence over the past three academic years. All tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure track faculty with a demonstrated long-term commitment to teaching at UIC are eligible to apply. We hope that all eligible faculty will take advantage of this opportunity.
