Udall Center Fellows Program 2026-27 

Thanks for your help spreading the word about the open call for 2026 Udall Center Fellows Program application!

The Udall Center Fellows Program has hosted 184 U of A faculty members from 51 departments in 13 colleges over the course of its 36-year history, allowing appointed fellows the opportunity to step away from teaching for a semester or to receive supplemental summer compensation so they can focus on research and the pursuit of funding for their work.

This year –  in partnership with the College Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences (CALES), the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), the BIO5 Institute (BIO5), the Arizona Institute for Resilience (AIR), the Office of Research and Partnerships (ORP), and the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO)  – the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy is pleased to offer six individual research tracks for potential fellows.

We’ve compiled the following pre-made content to make it easy for you to share this unique opportunity with U of A faculty in your department and across campus, including custom graphics, flyers, ready-to-post text and blurbs for your newsletters, emails and any other announcement you see fit to distribute.

Feel free to modify this content to fit your needs and to reach out with any questions or requests you might have related to the program and/or this promotional kit, including requests for modified images, updated or abridged copy, etc.

Thank you again for your support!
