Greetings Colleagues,  


I am forwarding the April 2023 Research Development & Grant Writing Newsletter by Academic Research Funding Strategies, LLC. The newsletter is provided through a subscription by the Office of the Vice President for Research, Economic Development, and Knowledge Enterprise (REDKE) solely for the use of the UTSA community. Although you may share it with your students, please do not post it on a public website or disseminate it outside the UTSA community.   


In this issue (from ARFS):


April 2023 Select List of Humanities, HSS, and Arts Opportunities & News  We list funding opportunities for scholars in the humanities, social sciences and the arts.

NEH Infrastructure/Capacity-Building Challenge Grants   NEH Challenge grants are different from other NEH grants and fellowships. We discuss those differences.

Editing the Research Narrative for Importance  When writing your research narrative, it’s important to remember that space and the reviewer’s attention span are both limited. We discuss how to determine the relative hierarchy of importance of information to be included in the research narrative.

We provide an overview of research goals laid out by the various agencies.
