Faculty and staff are invited to apply for the 2023 VIP Catalyst Seed Grants. UArizona’s Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program is offering this funding opportunity to promote the implementation or expansion of long-term, scalable projects that align faculty efforts in research and instruction. Funded projects would follow the VIP model and give undergraduate students hands-on, team-based experience in research, design, service learning and creative inquiry. 

For more information, visit our VIP Catalyst Seed Funding page.
