The 2022-2024 One UP Professorial Chair (PC) Awards
and One UP Faculty Grant (FG) Awards


At its 1309th meeting held on 22 July 2015, the UP Board of Regents approved the allocation of Php 100 million per year for the period January 2016 - December 2018 for approximately 800 professorial chair awards and faculty grant awards to be distributed among academic units across all the Constituent Universities. Named One UP Professorial Chair (PC) Awards and Faculty Grant (FG) Awards, these aim to further provide recognition and incentives to faculty members who demonstrate outstanding performance in two out of three work areas of the faculty: teaching, research or creative work, and public service.

The One UP Professorial Chair (PC) Awards and One U.P. Faculty Grant (FG) Awards are funded through the General Appropriations Act. Per the General Appropriations Act for FY 2022, Php 103 million has been earmarked for the awards. To encourage a higher standard of performance among the faculty, the Board of Regents approved the continuity of the awards subject to the availability of funds. The revised guidelines have also been approved by the Board at its 1340th meeting last 3 December 2018 to allow more faculty to apply. The call for applications will be announced by the Office of the President at a later date.

There are five (5) award categories:

  1. Outstanding Teaching & Research, or
  2. Outstanding Teaching & Creative Work, or
  3. Outstanding Teaching & Public Service, or
  4. Outstanding Research & Public Service, or
  5. Outstanding Creative Work & Public Service

  2. Faculty members are asked to indicate targets for self-improvement in the three work areas and how they can contribute to their academic unit, the university, and the country in the next three years. This is based on the principle that one's performance is, first and foremost, inner- or self-driven. The targets will not be considered part of the criteria for the current award which is based on past accomplishments.

GENERAL CRITERIA

  3. The criteria that contribute to new knowledge have no cap/limit on points (see further below).

ENTITLEMENTS

GENERAL PRINCIPLES IN SCORING AND RANKING OF APPLICANTS

The UAC may decide to change the self-scored points but with justification. They may also accept new entries in case the faculty applicant can still improve their points. Faculty who attain the minimum point requirements will qualify for the One U.P. PC and FG Awards. The ADCP System initially selects the 2 work areas with the highest points for consideration. However, the UAC may override the selected combination in case there are sub-criteria that are not met and the faculty applicant will be more qualified in a different work area combination. The UAC may also mark the application 'ineligible' for non-score reasons but this will require entry of justification (pending case, has existing PC that provides more than P10,000 a month, etc.). The justification must be duly reviewed by the succeeding line officials.

For this call, ranking will now be strictly imposed. The general idea of the ranking is that, those awarded Professorial Chairs must be performing at a much higher standard than those awarded Faculty Grants. Hence, a Professor or an Associate Professor may be awarded Faculty Grants instead of Professorial Chairs.

Given that different fields will have different average scores, the UAC will have the authority to endorse the faculty applicant for a PC or an FG. Succeeding approving line officials will need to compare the scores with other departments or colleges to benchmark to either endorse the UAC's decision or return the application to the UAC with their recommendations. Rankings will be generated automatically by the system and may be requested from the Support Team.
