Urban
Education Institute Research Seed Funds 2019 Research Grants Call for Proposals |
The Urban Education Institute (UEI) is soliciting proposals for applied research projects aimed at improving the share
of San Antonio students pursuing and completing a postsecondary education.
Our goal is to increase the number of transdisciplinary research teams focused on addressing education issues relevant to San Antonio’s community of education stakeholders including educators, students, and policymakers.
UEI Research Seed Funds realizes this goal by supporting activities necessary to advance an early stage of a research project that can develop into a competitive research proposal to an external funding organization within a year of the completion of the UEI
Research Seed Fund period. The UEI Research Seed Fund period is no more than a year. This year the maximum to be awarded to selected proposals equals $10,000 per award.
Award recipients agree to use the Institute as their administrative department for proposed research projects and future grant awards related to their Institute-supported research as a way of sustaining this seed-funding program. Researchers who have the Institute
administer their grants receive administrative support such as budgeting, accounting, and purchasing services. They also receive part of the in-direct costs that is normally dedicated to a department.
It is never too early to bring us your ideas for a proposal. We can provide you feedback and advice for developing your ideas into stronger proposals.
Proposals should be no longer than five pages and include an abstract. They should also identify the research questions to be investigated, provide a brief literature review, describe the methodology, and data to be used, and data collection methods.
Send your proposals to UEI@.utsa.edu by May 15, 2019.
