The purpose of the Publication Incentive Program is to increase the scholarly productivity of faculty and therefore enhance the national reputation of CAST departments.
The Publication Incentive Program (PIP), an ongoing program initiated in 1988, is supported by the CAST Research Office. This program sets aside travel funds to award faculty, staff and administrators in CAST who have an article published in a national level refereed journal or have a chapter or book published for national distribution. All CAST employees (half time or more) are eligible for these funds.
The following criteria determine the award:
*In a given fiscal year, a given faculty member may receive no more than $900 from this support program.
** Funds subject to availability

There is no timeline for use of a PIP award, but note that disbursement of the funds is dependent on the availability of funding.For more information, please contact the CAST Research Office, 305 N.
