FW: Reminder: VPR Funding Opportunities
by Amaury Nora
Good Afternoon,
The Office of Research Support would like to remind faculty that the below Seed Grant opportunities opened for application. Please forward the email below to all faculty members in your respective college.
The Office of the Vice President of Research (VPR) is committed to supporting UTSA faculty in their efforts to get funded. These funding opportunities focus on all areas of research, and encourage faculty to seek out new financial opportunities.
The VPR provides financial support for several internal funding programs, such as:
The GREAT program will provide seed grants to support new areas of research for faculty at UTSA. The primary goal of these awards will be to assemble preliminary data that can be used to seek extramural funding and advance UTSA's goal of reaching Tier I status. It is expected that up to six grants for a maximum of $20,000 each may be awarded annually, based on availability of funds. Deadline: March 15th
The INTRA program is part of The UTSA Vice President for Research's coordinated efforts 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 is awarding approximately 20 grants of $5,000 each to winning applications. Deadline: March 1st
The Connect program is a joint effort between The 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. Deadline: March 31st
The Proposal Enhancement Program (PEP) provides funding for faculty to continue current research programs at The UTSA that demonstrate a high likelihood of successfully competing for future federal funding. PEP applications must contain efforts to address recent grant critiques from federal sponsors (e.g., NIH, NSF, DoD, DoED), state, or philanthropic granting organizations. Support will be provided for the preparation of a future grant submission utilizing the sponsor's corresponding grant critique. Deadline: Ongoing
The San Antonio Life Sciences Institute and the SALSI Academy award grants to seven research proposals. These grants are from the SALSI Postdoctoral Initiative Pilot Program, the SALSI Innovation Challenge, and the SALSI Clusters in Research Excellence. Each proposal is designed to utilize SALSI's multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment to solve problems in the life sciences, foster cutting-edge research, and significantly raise the international research profile of The University of Texas at San Antonio and The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
* Innovation Challenge NOI Deadline: February 15th
* Innovation Challenge Full Submission Deadline: March 1st
* Clusters in Research Excellence NOI Deadline: March 1st
* Clusters in Research Excellence Full Submission Deadline: April 1st
To find out more about how to apply for these funding opportunities and to see the deadlines for each, visit the Office of Research Support's website<http://research.utsa.edu/funding/UTSA_seed_grants.php>.

FW: Spring 2016 Grad. Writing Workshops
by Betty Merchant
I really urge faculty to refer students to these workshops-we often talk about the need for our graduate students to improve their writing-particularly when it comes to the dissertation! Unless students understand that they have a need for such things, they are often completely shocked when we require them to do multiple edits on their work. These workshops could save everyone a great deal of time and effort!
Thanks,
Betty

Subject: Still 3 weeks to apply to DC Summer Intern Program
Offering undergraduate and graduate students a ten-week professional, academic, and career opportunity internship in the nation's capital. The program features a demanding mix of professional involvement, intellectual challenge, career exploration, and cultural encounters designed to provide interns with a rich and varied experience during their time in Washington. Professional workplace experience: Interns are placed with one of over a dozen Near East and Arab world-related organizations in Washington, D.C., where they are expected to work 35-40 hours/week under the direct supervision of their host organizations. Academic seminars: Interns take part in twice-weekly seminar sessions designed to provide them with greater depth of knowledge about the Arab world, to underscore the cultural, economic, and political diversity of Arab states, and to explore the intricacies of Arab-U.S. relations. There will be a particular emphasis, though not exclusively, on Arabia and the Gulf. Site visits: Interns receive a behind-the-scenes look at many of the central institutions of federal government, national security policymaking, international diplomacy, and international business.

The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations' Washington, DC Summer Internship Program offers undergraduate and graduate students a ten-week professional, academic, and career opportunity internship in the nation's capital. The program features a demanding mix of professional involvement, intellectual challenge, career exploration, and cultural encounters designed to provide interns with a rich and varied experience during their time in Washington.
* Professional workplace experience: Interns are placed with one of over a dozen Near East and Arab world-related organizations in Washington, D.C., where they are expected to work 35-40 hours/week under the direct supervision of their host organizations.
* Academic seminars: Interns take part in twice-weekly seminar sessions designed to provide them with greater depth of knowledge about the Arab world, to underscore the cultural, economic, and political diversity of Arab states, and to explore the intricacies of Arab-U.S. relations.

About the Program
The National Council's Summer Internship Program offers professional work experiences combined with twice weekly evening seminars that bring academic experts and experienced foreign policy practitioners to meet with the interns in candid off-the-record discussions and freewheeling question and answer sessions. Our goals are: (1) to provide a realistic Washington, D.C. work experience that will pave the way to career development; (2) to provide interns with first-hand experience behind-the-scenes of the foreign policy analysis and advocacy process in Washington, D.C.; (3) to provide a strong academic component dealing with U.S. political, economic, and cultural relations with Arabia and the Gulf region; (4) to help participants begin the process of career networking by introducing them to working professionals in government, business, journalism, and NGOs; and, (5) to highlight the wide range of career opportunities awaiting those who aspire to work in the field of U.S.-Arab relations as well as to provide counseling on the graduate school and fellowship application processes.
As complements to the program, interns will also be exposed to D.C. in a less formal manner via films, cultural events, embassy and museum visits, off-the-record conversations with former diplomats, group dinners, and suggestions for exploring the sights and sounds of Washington, D.C. This allows students not only to experience living and working in the city but also encourages them to appreciate the cultural diversity of the urban environment and the exciting cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities available in the nation's capital.
Sponsorship
The program is administered by National Council professionals and staff, together with more than two dozen of America's foremost scholars and leading foreign affairs practitioners. The programs, activities, and functions represented by the organizations and corporations that provide the professional work experience component of the program are varied. Included among placements in recent years have been educational development and exchange organizations, bimonthly and quarterly publications, humanitarian relief groups, broadcasting networks, area studies centers, international transportation companies, foreign trade associations, peace and justice advocacy groups, and a variety of non-governmental organizations.
Cost and Fellowship Stipend
A $125 non-refundable program fee must be submitted with the application. This fee helps to defray the costs of administering the summer internship program and the accompanying seminar presentations. Internship program participants, upon successful fulfillment of the program's academic and internship requirements, will receive a $1,000 fellowship stipend.
