RE:                  George H. Davis Travel Fellowship

The University of Arizona Foundation has established the George H. Davis
Travel Fellowship in honor of George H. Davis, Executive Vice President and
Provost at the University of Arizona from 2000 to 2007, and now Regents
Professor Emeritus, Department of Geosciences.  The purpose of the
fellowship is to support promising tenure-track faculty members in any field
in becoming more widely recognized for their work and more closely connected
with colleagues, nationally and internationally.   In particular, the
fellowship defrays costs associated with invited participation in a national
or international professional meeting, where the awardee will communicate
research findings, scholarship, and/or creative activities.

The fellowship, with a maximum allowance of $5000, may be used to cover:

*	costs of travel, lodging, and meals,
*	pre-meeting costs in preparing presentation(s), and/or
*	post-meeting expenses in producing invited products  (e.g.,
publications volume emerging from conference)

Funds will be made available for travel taking place from February 15th,
2012, through December 31st, 2012.

Each year, one to two awardees will be selected according to the criteria
listed below.
