The Internal Research Awards (INTRA) program is part of The UTSA VPREDKE 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 01, 2019
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.
It is expected that up to four grants for a maximum of $20,000 each may be awarded.
Deadline: March 22, 2019
The Connecting through Research Partnerships (Connect) Program sponsored by the Office of
the VPREDKE 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. Deadline: March 29,2019
The Transdisciplinary Teams (T2) Program will provide seed grants to support UTSA faculty
members to engage in scholarly research activities that foster transdisciplinary
collaborations. The primary goal of these awards is to assemble teams of researchers from
different disciplines that will establish a foundation to seek extramural funding,
ultimately advancing UTSA’s research excellence initiatives. It is anticipated that up to
two grants for a maximum of $20,000 each may be awarded. Deadline: April 5, 2019
