Resource Request Form

For each Resource Request from the Faculty of Science, University of Colombo, there will be two key individuals, (two Resource Champions – RCs) one from the Faculty of Science, University of Colombo (Colombo-RC) and the other from CUFSAA (UFSAA-RC).

Once CUFSAA is notified with a request, the ExCo will assign a CUFSAA-RC based on his/her expertise on the particular resource request. The CUFSAA-RC will be responsible to work with the Colombo-RC and vice versa.  It is expected that the CUFSAA-RC to evaluate the Resource Request based on the rationale and fundability and make a pitch to ExCo.  If the evaluation from the ExCo is a GO, then CUFSAA-RC is expected to work with the ExCo to identify avenues to fund of satisfy the Resource Request. Once funded, the CUFSAA-RC will be responsible to report the progress of the project on semiannual or annual basis for 2 years.
