VPR Small Grants Introduction

The Office of the Vice President for Research, Graduate Studies, and Economic Development and the University of Arizona Foundation continue to support the Faculty Small Grants Program (FSG). Awards of up to $10,000 are 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 a continuing or continuing-eligible status are eligible to apply; however, the Faculty Small Grants Program gives highest priority to junior-level individuals in those categories.

The deadline for submitting a proposal to the 2008-2009 round of the Faculty Small Grants Program is January 23, 2009. Further instructions and dates workshops will be held on writing a Faculty Small Grants Program proposal will be posted on this website in November, 2008. If you have any questions, please call Linda Nultemeier, 621-3512.
