Re:		Faculty Research Development Grant Program	

International Affairs is pleased to announce the upcoming cycle of the
Faculty Research Development Grant (FRDG) program.  The FRDG provides travel
support to tenured faculty for the development or continuation of
international research. Funding of this grant program has been provided by
International Affairs.

The application deadline for the next FRDG funding cycle is October 15, 2009
at 4:00 p.m. Tenured faculty members engaged in current research projects of
exceptional value or proposed research activity of exceptional promise have
until October 15, 2009, at 4:00 p.m. to request assistance toward airfare
for travel between November 1, 2009 and April 30, 2010.

The FRDG review committee is comprised of faculty members and the Executive
Director of the division of International Affairs (IA). The committee
follows standard peer review practice and considers only those applications
that are effectively documented. Proposals that have a clear potential to
provide significant benefit to the career of the candidate and to yield
long-term ties between The University of Arizona and individual scholars or
research groups outside the United States are given preference. Only tenured
faculty members who have exhibited extraordinary leadership and potential
are considered competitive for funding.  There must be five (original plus
four copies) applications submitted and they must be typed, with documents
in the order prescribed. Single copies, late and/or incomplete applications
will be returned. The application is available for download on our website
at www.international.arizona.edu/oed.  

Information regarding funding guidelines, application procedures, deadlines
for future funding cycles, along with travel dates, can also be found online
at www.international.arizona.edu/oed.

Applications should be submitted to the Office of the Executive Director,
International Affairs, 935 N. Tyndall Ave., attention FRDG. It is strongly
encouraged that applications be submitted in person. For questions please
contact Janis Mathiasen at 626-8530 or jmathias at email.arizona.edu.
