UA anticipates nominating one Junior Scholar and one Senior Scholar. UA anticipates a sponsor deadline of November 14, 2021. Updated guidelines will be posted once released by the sponsor.

In the previous cycle, there were four broad topic areas that include a wide range of suggested subtopics:

• Strengthening U.S. democracy and exploring new narratives
• Technological and cultural creativity—potential and perils
• Global connections and global ruptures
• Environments, natural and human

RDS anticipates similar topic areas for the 2022 program. Topic areas will be updated once announced by the sponsor.

How is a Junior Scholar defined for this opportunity?

The sponsor has previously defined a junior scholar as someone who received his/her Ph.D. within the last ten years. A junior scholar may hold any title, e.g., assistant professor or associate professor. The “junior” status is determined by the year in which his/her terminal degree was earned.

Senior: M. Nassar
Junior: E. Plemons

UArizona may submit three applications.

As a key pillar of the Pac-12 SAHWBI, the Pac-12 Grant Program offers research funding to support the advancement of Pac-12 student-athlete health and well-being and has made it a priority to research and develop best practices for general improvements in these areas.

The Pac-12 Conference has committed approximately $3,500,000 per year in research grants for projects at Pac-12 institutions designed to improve the health, general well-being, and safety of student-athletes at all Conference member universities.

All submissions must come through UA SPCS and be endorsed by the institution’s Pac-12 Student-Athlete Health and Well-Being Board representative.

Through a gift from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Library will support a multiyear initiative that entails public participation in the creation of archival collections. Specifically, the Library of Congress seeks to award grants to support contemporary cultural documentation focusing on the culture and traditions of diverse, often underrepresented communities in the United States. These projects will result in archival collections preserved at the American Folklife Center and made accessible through the Library of Congress’ web site. The major goals of this grant program are to enable communities to document their cultural life and experiences from their own perspectives, while enriching the Library’s holdings with diverse materials featuring creativity and knowledge found at the local level. As such, successful applications will come from individuals closely affiliated with the community they propose to document.

UArizona may submit 6 proposals, one per award category (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing & Design). The anticipated sponsor's deadline is October 15, 2021, based on previous award cycles.

The Johnson & Johnson Scholars Award Program aims to fuel development of female STEM2D leaders and feed the STEM2D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their careers, in each of the STEM2D disciplines: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing and Design. The awards will fund one woman per STEM2D discipline who has completed her advanced degree, who is working as an assistant professor (or global equivalent faculty position) and who is not yet tenured at an accredited university, institution or design school. The goal is to fuel the research passion of the awarded women and inspire career paths in their respective STEM2D fields. Johnson & Johnson is looking to identify global women leading in both their research fields and leading as mentors, to be a vision for girls and other women in STEM2D.
