The Postdoctoral Research Development Grants (PRDG) at the University of Arizona are designed to foster the independence and professional growth of postdoctoral scholars. The program offers two funding tracks:
- New Project PRDG: Supports small, independent research projects not funded by the scholar's primary mentor or stipend, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration.
- New Skills Training PRDG: Provides resources for postdocs to gain additional research training or experience outside their current appointments, such as workshops, webinars, or travel to learn new research techniques.
Recipients are expected to submit a brief summary of accomplishments within one month after completion of the funded activity.
