Udall Center Fellowships
Applications Due | Jan 30
The Udall Center Fellowship program offers a semester off from normal teaching, thus allowing for creative scholarship and pursuit of funds.
The College of Fine Arts (CFA) and the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy are pleased to announce the Fine Arts component of the 2024-25 Udall Center Faculty Fellows Program. These fellowships are made possible by support from CFA. One fellowship will be available. Since the program’s inception in 1990, the Center has hosted 173 fellows representing 49 schools, departments or centers and spanning 12 colleges at the University of Arizona.
The primary purpose of the fellowship is to support development of a project with public policy relevance. Topics may span the range of public policy and need not relate to Udall Center activities. During the term of the fellowship, fellows are required to develop at least one proposal for external support to further the research agenda. External support may consist of a grant, contract, or fellowship from any source outside of the University of Arizona. Over the course of the Udall fellowship, the fellow will work with Research Development Services (RDS) in RII to target, develop, and submit the proposal. By the end of the fellowship term, the Fellow will either have submitted a proposal or prepared a complete proposal draft (depending on submission due date).
Eligibility. The 2024-25 competition is open to tenured/tenure eligible or continuing/continuing eligible CFA faculty who will not be taking a sabbatical or other leave during the same academic year.
