Proposals with concepts aligned to the research priorities and TRIF Initiatives will be prioritized. Please note that these categories are intentionally broad and thus, can be representative of multiple disciplines, including STEMM and non-STEMM.
If you have a proposed concept that does not align with the research priorities or TRIF initiatives, you may still submit your concept, noting that ORP will only fund applications in support of cross-cutting, cross-disciplinary research concepts. It is highly recommended that interested applicants discuss their concepts with strategic initiative leads and TRIF leads prior to submission.
ORP will host multiple campus-wide webinars on this opportunity. ORP is committed to supporting the excellence of U of A’s mid-career faculty and thus strongly encourages mid-career faculty to apply to this program. For this opportunity, mid-career faculty are defined as those at the rank of Associate Professor or within 2 years of promotion to the rank of full Professor.
Innovation & Collaboration grants may support: (1) extramural proposal development activities, (2) campus activities such as workshops or colloquia focused on a strategic research goal, (3) pilot data collection for new cross-disciplinary team projects, or (4) support for graduate students or postdocs to participate in data collection, preliminary analysis, and/or proposal writing.
Additional activities may be supported with justification. Teams may request up to $75,000. All proposals should include metrics and a reporting plan for the duration of the period of performance.
ORP encourages teams to collaborate with colleagues in diverse fields outside their own, including the sciences, engineering, health, social sciences, humanities, arts, design, and education in support of their objectives.
New Research Collaborations: Proposals should describe how the investigators will initiate a new research collaboration on campus or with external partners (including academic, industry, community, or government) in support of proposal development activities led by U of A. Proposals may include partner universities, but funding is limited to activities on U of A campus or with U of A personnel.
Proposal preparation, submission, and processing information is available in the ORP Proposal Preparation Guide (PPG) v10, which is downloadable in Arizona Cultivate. The PPG includes requirements for the project narrative and supplemental documents; it is strongly encouraged that interested applicants read the PPG in full as proposals that do not match the PPG will be returned without review.
Please note the budget approval process which utilizes an applicant driven routing step after submission. Applicants will input the email address of their business officer or award/research administrator when prompted at the end of the application prior to submission. The email address should be for the person who has authority to create, review, and approve the budget.
The system will send a link for approval via the email listed to the business officer or award/research administrator where they may confirm they reviewed and approved the submitted budget. This approval step is required before an application is accepted for compliance checks and formal review. The deadline for business officer or award/research administrator is May 8, 2026 at 5:00 pm MST.
ORP recommends the investigator alert their budget officer/research administrator of this process in advance of their submission.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity. For Phase II, only selected applicants will be invited to submit Full Proposals, and only those Invited Full Proposals will be considered for funding.
