PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING REQUEST: and .

There are three types of appropriation requests:

  1. Earmark: federal funding directed specifically to a UA entity for a specific project;
  2. Plus up: federal funding add to an agency's budget with the understanding between the UA faculty and staff member and the program manager that the funding will be awarded to UA; and
  3. Programmatic: requesting a total funding level for a specific federal program.

All earmark and plus-up requests should be viewed as one-time funding as a way to jump-start or complete an activity – not sustain it over time. Any projects that request multi-year funding will not be accepted. Projects may be able to use one-time funds for multiple years, but that is largely at the discretion of the relevant federal agency.

If you have questions about the type of appropriations request you would like to submit, please contact Denae Benson, UA assistant director of federal relations, or John Latini, UA executive director of federal relations.

Please complete the relevant portions of the no later than Oct. 10, 2025.
