Subject: Seed Grant Announcement
Good Afternoon All,
Please see below seed grant opportunities offered under the Office of the Vice President
for Research (VPR) that can be distributed within your respective college.
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/ .
