PLEASE FORWARD TO FACULTY AND STAFF

The University of Arizona Foundation and the Office of the Vice President
for Research, Graduate Studies, and Economic Development (OVPR) continue to
support innovative work, and are happy to announce this request for
proposals to both the Faculty Seed Grants and the Community Connection
Grants Programs. We urge faculty and staff to review the details of both
programs at www.vpr.arizona.edu/resources before applying. 

Faculty Seed Grants, as in years past, consist of awards of up to $10,000
made on a competitive basis for projects involving research or other
creative scholarly activity. The Program is intended to provide short-term,
one-time support that will "jump start" worthwhile projects and result in
data or work products that can be used in developing major proposals for
submission to extramural funding agencies or private contributors.
Individuals holding faculty rank, who have an appointment in the research
scientist series of titles, or who have continuing or continuing-eligible
status are eligible to apply; however, the Faculty Seed Grants Program gives
highest priority to junior-level individuals in those categories. The
University of Arizona Foundation is pleased to sponsor these awards.

Community Connection Grants consist of awards up to $10,000 made on a
competitive basis for exemplary, innovative projects that connect the
University to the community. Projects can be new or existing and any faculty
or staff member is eligible to apply. Emphasis will be on outreach efforts
that benefit the community. These awards are made possible by the generosity
of donors who have funded endowments held by the University of Arizona
Foundation. 

Further details about both programs, instructions, and online application
forms are posted at www.vpr.arizona.edu/resources. Proposals must be
submitted by the deadline of 5:00 p.m. Friday, January 7, 2011. Two
preparation workshops will be offered, one to provide details and guidance
for Faculty Seed Grant applicants and the other for Community Connection
Grant applicants. See the website for details and registration.

For additional information on either the Faculty Seed Grants Program or the
Community Connection Grants Program, contact Linda Nultemeier at 621-3512 or
