4. CSRP Guiding Principles
All faculty and staff working with CSRP have ‘home’ appointments in one of PSU’s Colleges or ARL
Individual projects will be assigned to the PI’s home college and participating PSU faculty and staff are matrixed to the projects
CSRP projects will have full PSU resources at their disposal, without regard to artificial College boundaries
CSRP will support all aspects of the project (Research, Technology, and Programmatic)
