Drop them in the virtual COEHD Research suggestion box<https://forms.gle/wkihGPNx65u8jVEf7> From: REDKE Seed Grants <seedgrants(a)utsa.edu&gt; Good afternoon all, The VPREDKE would like to remind faculty of the below seed grant opportunities with impending deadlines. With the first NOI deadlines fast approaching, February 15, 2023 for BHC and GREAT and February 22 for INTRA, we want to note that pre-submission inquiries are strongly encouraged for the BHC Collaborative Seed Grant and prospective applicants may send a brief abstract to jenny.hsieh@utsa.edu<mailto:jenny.hsieh@utsa.edu>. The Brain Health Consortium Collaborative Seed Grant (BHC CSG) program, sponsored by the UTSA REDKE and Brain Health Consortium (BHC), is offering seed grants to support transdisciplinary research in areas that advance our fundamental understanding of the brain in health and disease, advance understanding of social determinants of brain health (e.g., healthcare equity, educational equity, etc.), lead to development of interventions to advance brain health (e.g., interventions for mental and behavioral health, interventions to increase brain health literacy in underserved populations, etc.), or advance research to increase inclusion of diverse populations in brain health research, especially from underrepresented communities. CSG funding through this program is an opportunity for UTSA faculty to begin innovative transdisciplinary research that will open new areas of research strength and become competitive for long-term extramural funding. It is expected that up to two grants for a maximum of $30,000 each may be awarded. NOI Deadline: February 15, 2023 and Proposal Deadline: March 8, 2023 The Grants for Research Advancement and Transformation (GREAT) program, sponsored by the UTSA REDKE, is offering seed grants to support new areas of research for faculty at UTSA. The primary goal of these awards is to assemble preliminary data that can be used to seek extramural funding and advance UTSA’s institutional research excellence goals (NRUF, AAU, etc.). It is expected that up to four grants for a maximum of $20,000 each may be awarded. NOI Deadline: February 15, 2023 and Proposal Deadline: March 8, 2023 The Internal Research Awards (INTRA) program is part of the UTSA REDKE coordinated efforts to promote research and scholarship of the highest quality. This program offers funding for faculty to gain experience in identifying and submitting proposals for extramural funding, gather preliminary data to support applications for extramural funding, and enhance scholarly and creative activities. It is anticipated that twenty grants of $5,000 each may be awarded. NOI Deadline: February 22, 2023 and Proposal Deadline: March 22, 2023 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. For this cycle, UTSA and SwRI have agreed on the targeted areas of Human Performance and Urban Challenges. The proposal must have a direct application to solving industrial, governmental, or societal problems. The combined contributions of the two organizations are $125,000, of which UTSA will dedicate $50,000. Proposal Deadline: March 22, 2023 The Transdisciplinary Teams (T2) program, sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research, Economic Development & Knowledge Enterprise (REDKE) at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in collaboration with the City of San Antonio (CoSA), is a grant opportunity offered to enhance greater intellectual collaboration between the two institutions and to increase both UTSA’s and CoSA’s research-funding base with inter-institutional collaborative programs. It is anticipated that 4 grants of $25,000 each may be awarded. NOI Deadline: March 8, 2023 and Proposal Deadline: April 5, 2023 The RFPs with information on how to apply, faculty eligibility and deadlines are attached. RFPs will also be available for download on the VPREDKE’s Internal Seed Grant Programs page<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2...;. * Note – The NOI deadline listed above is a process that is separate and distinct from a notification to the RSC for application development and approval prior to submission.
