Research Grants
Deadline: Sept. 8, 2009
Research grants are part of the organized research program of The University of Texas at Austin. They provide research support (up to $6,000) for specific projects of individual tenured and tenure-track faculty members.
Faculty Research Assignments (FRAs) provide tenured faculty members with the equivalent of one semester's salary (based on their academic base rate during the year of the award) so that they can devote full time to research. Only tenured associate and full professors may apply for FRAs. The recipient does not teach any classes while appointed to the FRA.
Applications should be submitted to their chairs by Friday, September 4, 2009.
Summer Research Assignments (SRAs) provide tenure-track assistant professors with the equivalent of two months' salary (based on the academic base rate during the year of the award) to enable the recipient to concentrate on research and writing during the summer session. Only tenure-track assistant professors are eligible for these awards.
Applications should be submitted to their chairs by Friday, October 2, 2009
Special Research Grants (SRGs) for 2009-2010 in amounts up to $750 are awarded to tenured and tenure-track faculty throughout the year until funds are expended. Applications will be accepted beginning September 1, 2009.
University Cooperative Society Subvention Grants for 2009-2010 are awarded to faculty authors and members of the research staff (Code 1000). These grants have no submission deadline, and are available until current fiscal year funding is expended.
University Cooperative Society Undergraduate Research Fellowships (URFs) in amounts up to $1,000 are awarded through two competitions, Fall 2009 and Spring 2010. Faculty, lecturers, and full-time research scientists/engineers may supervise undergraduate students in independent research projects. The deadline for the Fall 2009 competition is September 28.
