The UArizona Washington, DC Center for Outreach & Collaboration (DC Center) - Proposals Due March 31, 2021

The University of Arizona Washington, DC Center for Outreach & Collaboration was established in 2020 to inform and convene leading experts from around the world in Washington, DC to extend the impact of UArizona research and scholarship to interested federal, congressional, and private sector stakeholders. The University of Arizona Washington, D.C. Center for Outreach & Collaboration will be the University’s front door in Washington where we will welcome elected officials, policymakers, influencers, and community stakeholders to share in the amenity and enhance the visibility of the University of Arizona on the global stage. The 2021 Inaugural Annual Event will take place from Monday, September 20th – Friday, September 24th in the conference center at the Washington, DC Center for Outreach & Collaboration. Throughout the week we will activate the space with intelligent conversation, installations, demonstrations, networking receptions, and more to inspire audiences with stories and experiences from the University of Arizona. We want your ideas and proposals to help activate the space and highlight the innovative work across campus. Proposals must:

• Be produced and supported largely by your college / department / unit

• Demonstrate how “wonder makes us”

• Be relevant within the past year or forward-looking in nature

• Attract a strategic and unique target audience in DC (not just alumni at-large). Target audiences could include federal policymakers (congressional and/or agency), advocacy organizations, think tanks, and non-governmental organizations working in federal and international policy, among others.

• Be reflective of the university’s purpose and values

All proposals must be submitted via UA Competition Space no later than March 31, 2021. Please see UA Competition Space for proposal components, award information, review, selection, and timeline. Full Details
