Udall Center Faculty Affiliates
The Udall Center serves as the University of Arizona’s designated public policy research nexus. Much of the Center’s work is accomplished via transdisciplinary projects that require broad collaboration across the campus and beyond. To facilitate this type of partnership, we name a few key colleagues to be Udall Center Faculty Affiliates.
Affiliates are tenure-eligible/tenured or continuing-eligible/continuing faculty appointed in some UArizona unit, regardless of field or discipline who have a strong, demonstrated interest in doing applied work in public policy, particularly on relevant topics of mutual interest to the Center and the affiliate. Such applied work would normally entail engaging with or supporting the goals of stakeholders.
Faculty Affiliates, who are appointed to five-year terms, agree to (1) make research presentations at Udall Center seminars upon request, (2) attend and/or make presentations at certain invited events, (3) participate in periodic Udall Center strategic planning events, and (4) coauthoring research papers, reports, media presentations, and research proposals.

Udall Center External Faculty Associates
A considerable portion of the Udall Center’s work involves collaboration with colleagues outside the University of Arizona. To recognize especially strong linkages and encourage continued research cooperation, the Center recognizes a select group of External Faculty Affiliates (or Associates).
External Faculty Associates are tenure-eligible/tenured or continuing-eligible/continuing faculty appointed at an accredited university in the United States or elsewhere, who like UArizona Faculty Affiliates, have a strong, demonstrated interest in doing applied work in public policy, particularly on relevant topics of mutual interest to the Center and the affiliate, especially with stakeholders.
External Faculty Associates, who are appointed to five-year terms, are encouraged to collaborate with Udall Center researchers by partnering on projects and where appropriate, coauthoring research papers, reports, media presentations, and research proposals.
