~FAST Tex Proposal Deadline October 14, 2005

With the October 14 deadline fast approaching, DIIA encourages UT Austin faculty to submit project proposals for the Faculty and Student Teams for Technology (~FAST Tex) 2006 grant season.  This innovative incentive program matches tech-savvy students with faculty to build instructional technologies into UT Austin courses.

Project manager Suzanne Rhodes suggests that faculty consult the ~FAST Tex Faculty Handbook where the support team has provided complete instructions, proposal review considerations, types of projects supported, and tools for project management to ensure a successful proposal submission.

Faculty proposals must satisfy a rigorous ten-point review process to become a working project, and may be awarded up to 600 student developer hours and a completion deadline matching the scope of the project.  Rhodes expects to support a maximum of 50 projects in the 2006 season.

To get a better idea of the types of projects the program supports, the current year’s ~FAST Tex project descriptions may be found on the DIIA instructional technologies Web site.
