Leveraging partnerships with local industries and universities is a great way for K–12 schools to offer students real-world experiences, while also fostering future-ready college students and workers. The University of Texas at San Antonio and the San Antonio Independent School District have embraced this idea fully through the Centers for Applied Science and Technology (CAST), a network of applied-technology schools, Campus Technology reports. The first school will be CAST Tech High School, which will open next month with 150 9th graders.

Frank Pomeroy pauses outside his daughter’s room, unable to enter. He knows what’s inside: Annabelle’s bed, her One Direction poster and various items in shades of purple — her favorite color. But Pomeroy and his wife, Sherri, can’t look in her room yet. It reminds them too much of the girl they lost.

Seed Grant Announcement
by Amaury Nora
Dear COEHD Faculty:
Please see below seed grant opportunities offered under the Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR).
The Connecting through Research Partnerships (Connect) Program sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR) at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), is a grant opportunity offered to enhance greater scientific collaboration between the two institutions and to increase both UTSA's and SwRI's research-funding base with cross-campus collaborative programs. The program encourages interaction between investigators in support of the acquisitions of established extramural, peer-reviewed research funding. This agreement provides unprecedented opportunities for researchers to work together in addressing issues of mutual interest and need. The combined contributions of the two organizations are $125,000, of which UTSA will dedicate $50,000.
The Grant for Research Advancement and Transformation (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.
The Internal Research Awards (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.
The RFPs with information on how to apply, faculty eligibility and approaching deadlines are attached. RFPs will also be available for download on the VPR's funding opportunities page at http://research.utsa.edu/research-funding/opportunities/ .
