Henceforth, only employees holding faculty rank will be eligible to apply. Priority for funding will be given to new junior faculty members who are embarking on careers involving research or other creative scholarly activity. Consideration will also be given to more established faculty members who are initiating new directions in their research or other creative scholarly activity. For both of these faculty groups, a premium will be placed on the funding of projects that show promise to generate data or work products that can be used in developing major proposals for submission to extramural funding agencies or private contributors. The Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies, in conjunction with The University of Arizona Foundation, supports a Faculty Small Grants Program.

Priority is given to new junior faculty members who are embarking on careers involving research or other creative scholarly activity. Consideration is also given to more established faculty members who are initiating new directions in their research or other creative scholarly activity. Proposals are evaluated by a peer-review committee composed of colleagues from related disciplines. The results of this review are first forwarded to The University of Arizona Foundation where initial selections for funding are made. Remaining proposals are returned to the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies for additional selections for funding.
