VPR announces grant funding available through UTSA
(Feb. 19, 2015) -- The Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR) is currently accepting applications for spring 2015 through three separate institutional seed grant programs, with $270,000 in available funding.
These funding opportunities focus on all areas of research and encourage faculty to seek out new financial opportunities. The current requests for proposals come from the Grants for Research Advancement and Transformation (GREAT) program, the Internal Research Awards (INTRA) program, and the Connect program.
The GREAT program will provide seed grants to support new areas of research for faculty at UTSA. The primary goal of these awards is to assemble preliminary data that can be used to seek extramural funding and advance UTSA's goal of reaching Tier One status. Up to six grants, for a maximum of $20,000 each, may be awarded annually, based on availability of funds.
The INTRA program is part of the VPR's coordinated effort to promote research and scholarship of the highest quality. This program offers experience in identifying and submitting applications to potential funding sources, provides preliminary data to support applications for extramural funding, and enhances scholarly and creative activities. The program will award approximately 20 grants of $5,000 each to winning applications.
The Connect program is a joint effort between UTSA and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). Both organizations are committed to funding the highest caliber of research and are contributing extensive funding toward that end. The combined contributions of the two organizations are $125,000, of which UTSA will dedicate $50,000.
