The 2023-2024 OVPR Special Research Grants: Cycle 2 are now open. Apply via InfoReady.
The OVPR Special Research Grants (SRG) provide modest research support (up to $2,000) for specific projects of individual tenured and tenure-track faculty members. These grants are intended to cover certain unanticipated costs or special needs and should not be considered a means of supporting on-going projects. These grants are competitive and funding is limited; applications received earlier in the academic year will have a better chance of funding. Applicants may receive up to three SRGs in any five-year period.

Subvention Grants

Funding is available.
The University of Texas at Austin Subvention Grants program, which provides a maximum award of $5,000, is designed to assist faculty authors in the publication of scholarly books. Preference will be given to assistant and associate professors. Frequently, university and other scholarly presses demand that authors provide funds to underwrite the publication of scholarly monographs and books. Subvention awards provide financial assistance to faculty members when departments and deans are unable to provide needed support. For more information, contact: vprcompetitions@austin.utexas.edu.
