PLEASE FORWARD TO FACULTY AND STAFF

 

The University of Arizona Foundation and the Office of the Senior Vice
President for Research are happy to announce the availability of the
2011-2012 Faculty Seed Grants and Community Connection Grants Programs. 

 

Faculty Seed Grants consist of awards of up to $10,000 for projects
involving research or other creative scholarly activity. The competitive
grants are 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 for exemplary,
innovative projects that connect the University to the community. The
competitive grants will provide support for new or existing projects 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. 

 

Information about both programs, instructions, and online application forms
are posted at www.vpr.arizona.edu <http://www.vpr.arizona.edu/resources> .
Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of 5:00 p.m. Friday, January 6,
2012. 

 

Two workshops will be offered to aid applicants with the process and include
a Q&A portion.

 

The Faculty Seed Grant workshop will be offered on Wednesday, November 9th
from 9:00-11:00 in room 102 of the Vine Avenue Annex at 1125 N. Vine. 

 

The Community Connection Grant workshop will be offered on Wednesday,
October 26th from 11:00-1:00 in the Presidio room, Student Union Memorial
Center. Attendees are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch, if desired. 

 

Applicants interested in applying for both programs may attend both
workshops. Seating is limited. To register for a workshop or for additional
information on either the Faculty Seed Grants Program or the Community
Connection Grants Program, contact Connie Garcia at 621-3512 or
