<h3><strong>Innovation Venture Investment Program</strong><o:p></o:p></h3>
<p> Proposals of any kind will be considered in established or new areas of inquiry, ranging from projects within an individual lab to multi investigator/transdisciplinary initiatives. Novel and potentially transformational ideas are encouraged. All projects
must show strong evidence that they will ultimately stimulate significant impactful research activity and be supported by sustained external funding. Proposals format is intentionally flexible; proposals can be submitted as a standard short grant application
or a white paper. The period of support will generally be from six months to two years, total budget generally below $100,000. Please submit a single PDF file containing the proposal and budget to
<a href="mailto:sangita@email.arizona.edu">sangita@email.arizona.edu</a>. Funding decisions will be made by the Associate Dean for Research.
