Hello COEHD colleagues, I hope you all are having a great week! Please see the email below for information about VPREDKE seed grants. These institutional grants are a great opportunity to develop transdisciplinary research ideas that have promise for larger funding opportunities. I encourage you to apply with your innovative and collaborative research ideas. Please note that these are different than the COEHD Faculty Research Grants opportunity I sent last week. Do not hesitate to reach out with questions, assistance, or anything else related to these opportunities. Iwan and I would be happy to assist, or help you find a team for one of these grants. Thank you!

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 institutional research excellence goals (Carnegie R1, NRUF, AAU, etc.). It is expected that up to four grants for a maximum of $20,000 each may be awarded. NOI Deadline: February 21, 2022 and Proposal Deadline: March 9, 2022 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. It is anticipated that twenty grants of $5,000 each may be awarded. NOI Deadline: March 21, 2022 and Proposal Deadline: April 6, 2022 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. Proposal Deadline: April 6, 2022 The Brain Health Consortium (BHC) Collaborative Seed Grant (CSG) program, sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research, Economic Development, and Knowledge Enterprise (REDKE) at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), is offering seed grants to support collaborative research at UTSA. These grants support a broad range of trans-disciplinary research that may yield fundamental insights into the mechanisms underlying brain disorders. It is anticipated that 2 grants of $15,000 each may be awarded. NOI Deadline: February 21, 2022 and Proposal Deadline: March 9, 2022 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=http%3A%2F%2F...;. ** Interested faculty should contact their respective Research Service Center (RSC) <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fresearch... to complete an Intake Form <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcomal.i... at the start of proposal development to initiate Research Service Center coordination. ** For questions please email seedgrants@utsa.edu<mailto:seedgrants@utsa.edu>.
