RE:            Science Foundation Arizona - Support for Statewide Proposal
Preparation
 
DATE:       August 11, 2009 
 
 
 
Science Foundation Arizona has offered to support statewide proposal
preparation for major federal and foundation funding larger than $5 million
a year.  Our understanding is that this is not a formal RFP listed on the
SFAz website and that statewide in this case means clear collaboration with
the other Arizona universities (at least one, preferably both) with actual
or potential links to industry. The goal is to stimulate transformative
research and strategic partnerships bringing together PIs at the three
universities in the areas of Information and Communications Technology,
Sustainable Systems, and Biomedical Research.   SFAz will invest up to $500K
to prepare up to 5 major statewide proposals so that Arizona will have an
advantage in competitions for stimulus and other major funding. Funding
opportunities with application deadlines in approximately the next 6-9
months would be good candidates.
The pre-proposal should consist of no more than a two-page summary of the
proposed program and address the following:
*                      a statement of the problem
*                      the impact the research will have on the problem
*                      a description the research program, the project plan
and key team members
*                      clear evidence of collaboration and partnership with
the other two universities must also be presented as well as potential for
partnership with industry, institutions, and foundations
Please submit pre-proposals to Angela Repp in the Office of the Vice
President for Research by Monday, August 31, 2009.  Proposals should be
ranked by the Dean of each college. Pre-proposals that are selected will be
need to be expanded into 5-page proposals for subsequent submission to SFAz,
likely in mid-September.
