The University of Arizona Foundation Small Grants Program 2019

The goal of The University of Arizona Foundation (UAF) Small Grants Program is to jump-start careers of junior faculty and staff, introduce them to philanthropy, and ultimately help UA recruit and retain the best and brightest. The UAF Small Grants Program will award multiple grants to junior faculty and staff in five areas of the UA Strategic Plan. "Junior" faculty for this grant program is defined as faculty within 5 years of their first academic appointment at a university. "Junior staff" is defined as staff within the first 5 years of professional employment at a university. One-year awards of up to $20,000 will be granted. The number of awards per pillar focus is at the discretion of the UAF Board. Applicants can only apply in one pillar area. Grants can be programmatic or research-focused. Awardees will be notified in October 2019. UAF is coordinating proposal submission and review with Research Development Services. 

All application materials must be submitted through UA Competition Space by August 28th, 2019, 5 p.m. MT.

Full guidelines attached.
