Internal, Campus-Wide Funding Opportunities

The University of Arizona's Research, Discovery & Innovation (RDI) office has revised and developed internal, campus-wide funding opportunities to support UA researchers in pursuing extramural funding with competitive proposal development.

The internal grants require:

1) a Letter of Intent due March 13, 2019 at 5pm MST

2) a full proposal due April 3, 2019 at 5pm MST

International Research & Academic Program Development (IRPD) Grants: Research, Discovery & Innovation (RDI) and Arizona Global will co-fund these grants. They are designed to jump-start and quickly grow either international research done by transdisciplinary collaborations, or the development of new academic programs in collaboration with international partner institutions.

Track 1: International Research Initiative: up to $30,000 to be spent on activities leading to an extramural proposal submission for global research and development projects. An international collaborator and/or institution is required. Investigators should request funding at the level most appropriate to the project.

Track 2: International Academic Program Development: up to $15,000 to be spent on activities leading to a new international student mobility initiative (student mobility initiatives may include: microcampus, early university programs, study abroad, student exchange, dual degree programs, pathway-to-degree programs, short-term study programs either inbound or outbound)

Track 3: International Research and Scholar Colloquium: up to $10,000 to hold a colloquium ranging from 3-5 days at UA for international visiting scholars from international partner institutions.

Faculty Seed Grants (FSG): These revised grants are designed to jump-start worthwhile projects by providing short-term, one-time support. FSG grants provide up to $15,000 on a competitive basis and are available in three tracks: Early Career, Mid-Career, Arts, Culture & Society.

Track 1: Early Career: proposals must lead to the generation of data for new extramural proposals or a new line of scholarship or creative activity. Proposals should describe how this funding will support a new faculty member develop independence.

Track 2: Mid-Career: proposals must lead to the generation of data for new extramural proposals or scholarship. Mid-career faculty interested in taking their research in a new direction, or in developing their career to lead a future research center or institute, are encouraged to apply.

Track 3: Arts, Culture & Society: proposals must advance an interdisciplinary collaboration or the generation of new data or a pilot project that will lead to new externally funded research, creative, or scholarly activities in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
