Science Foundation <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State>
– Support for Statewide Proposal Preparation<br>
<br>
DATE:</span></b> August 11, 2009 <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
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 <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State>
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 <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State>
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.<br>
The pre-proposal should consist of no more than a two-page summary of the
proposed program and address the following:<br>
</span></font><font size=2 face=Symbol><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Symbol'>·</span></font> <font size=1><span style='font-size:7.5pt'>

font-family:Symbol'>·</span></font> <font size=1><span style='font-size:7.5pt'>
</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>the impact the
research will have on the problem<br>

</span></font><font size=2 face=Symbol><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Symbol'>·</span></font> <font size=1><span style='font-size:7.5pt'>
</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>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<br>
Please submit pre-proposals to Angela Repp in the Office of the Vice President
for Research by <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Monday, August 31, 2009.</span></b>
Proposals should be ranked by the Dean of each college.<b><span
style='font-weight:bold'> </span></b>Pre-proposals that are selected will be
need to be expanded into 5-page proposals for subsequent submission to SFAz,
likely in mid-September.<br>
