A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage faculty research in sustainability:
The University of Arizona supports faculty through several programs. Specifically through Confluence: Center for Creative Inquiry,Community Connections Grants, Faculty Seed Grants, and the George H. Davis Fellowship the University of Arizona encourages faculty to pursue innovative research in both field specific and interdisciplinary areas. The Confluence Center funds the social sciences and the arts, the Community Connections Grants fund projects that encourage development of ties in the community, the Faculty Seed grants provide funds to start innovative research that could later be sponsored by outside sources, and the Davis Fellowship helps defray the costs of attending conferences, meetings, etc., at which the researcher would present findings, scholarship or creative activities.
Additionally in 2008, the Institute of the Environment received $9 million to encourage faculty to conduct environmental sustainability research and to recruit high quality researchers.
