Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the Provost's Investment Fund<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=535246da77645b8138b2e145670c10bcdc9158458fb01715f1c639b67fd6ff1a7ad7c6eb02350f057b14dd39caf21ac5abfb7225b606491d> (PIF) has $1 million available to be awarded for the fall 2022 competitive cycle.

I am seeking proposals from faculty and staff that are innovative and aspirational, and have goals that are explicitly aligned with the University's strategic plan<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=535246da77645b81d7e0bbcff2fae63b8fa71091795883de85e8a16b5240f756f223c658f063bbaa375a80e217c5effe1aa0b634ba3db6af> and the following institutional priorities:

  *   Increasing students’ success, graduation, and retention, especially for groups underrepresented within the relevant disciplines.
  *   Promoting growth and opportunities to generate new revenue for the institution.
  *   Expanding student experiential learning.
  *   Enhancing research capacity.
  *   Promoting diversity and inclusion.

Funding requests can range from $15,000 to $100,000 per year for a maximum of two years. The initiative is expected to be financially sustainable through the generation of new resources or the reallocation of other resources after the PIF funding period.
