Subject: Call for Campus Visit & Hiring Proposals for the Strategic Priorities Faculty Initiative (SPFI)

I am writing to invite proposals to the Strategic Priorities Faculty Initiative (SPFI) that is co-chaired by Vice Provost and Senior Diversity Officer Jesús Treviño and Vice Provost Thomas Miller. As in previous semesters, SPFI will provide funding to help hire outstanding faculty who have demonstrated strengths in advancing teaching, research, and service that enable us to advance our vision of Inclusive Excellence by strengthening our work with diverse students and constituencies and developing more inclusive workplaces, pedagogies, and research. SPFI is an important reflection of the UA’s commitment to inclusive excellence, the conscious and intentional practice of diversity and inclusiveness.

To help leverage our investment in the SPFI hiring fund, I encourage departments to bring potential candidates to campus using the Campus Visit Funds.

1. SPFI Hiring Funds: I have committed funds for departments to hire exceptional faculty, including both rising stars and established researchers with a demonstrated track record of advancing diversity and inclusion as one of the synergistic initiatives outlined in our UA Never Settle Strategic Plan.

2. SPFI Campus Visit Funds: To help support campus visits with future SPFI candidates, we will provide matching funds to cover half the costs of campus visits up to $1,500. These funds can be used to develop relationships with potential “laureate” candidates as well as postdoctoral researchers and graduate students completing dissertations. These funds are not available for campus visits associated with searches already in progress.

SPFI Hiring Funds are distributed through a competitive process. Funds are provided to cover 75% of the salary of the candidate in the first year (up to a maximum of $100,000), 50% in the second year, and 25% in the third year, with units taking on all the salary costs in successive years. In some situations, hires may be underwritten at a lower rate to maximize available funding. No funding is provided for start-up costs, so agreements on start-up costs need to be secured when developing proposals. Applications for funding are reviewed twice a year, November 1 and April 1.

We encourage departments to use the Campus Visit Funds to build relationships with outstanding faculty who will be competitive for future SPFI hiring proposals. The Campus Visit Funds can be used to complement college and department speaker funds to build relationships with possible “laureate” hires.

If you have questions on SPFI and related programs, I encourage you to contact Vice Provost Jesús Treviño (jesustrevino at email.arizona.edu<mailto:jesustrevino at email.arizona.edu>), Vice Provost Tom Miller (tpm at email.arizona.edu<mailto:tpm at email.arizona.edu>) or Professor Javier Duran (duran at email.arizona.edu<mailto:duran at email.arizona.edu>)
