Federal Relations—
Program Development

The Office of Federal Relations—Program Development represents and advocates the interests of The University of Texas at Austin through interaction with Congress and federal agencies focusing on important legislative, regulatory and budget actions that affect the university. 

The office is actively engaged with national associations and organizations and is a resource to university affiliates on issues affecting the academic community. As part of a major research university, we assist faculty and researchers in their efforts to secure federal research funds and encourage partnerships between research units and with other universities.
