Grants

The OVPR Research & Creative Grants are closed for submission. We expect the 2023-2024 Research & Creative Grants to open for submission in August 2023.

The OVPR Research & Creative Grants (RCG) program provides support of up to $10,000 for specific projects of individual tenured and tenure-track faculty members. The program’s overall objectives are to promote research, outreach, and creative activities in all disciplines that will result in publications, patents, recognition, awards, or exhibitions/performances appropriate to the PI’s discipline, and/or will improve competitiveness for external funding.

For detailed information on eligibility, budgets, eligible activities, terms and conditions, and proposal submission, please see the 2022-2023 Request for Proposals below.

Review Committee Service: If you do not plan to submit a proposal, please consider serving on one of the five review panels. Given the number of applications, we will need a large number of reviewers to fill out the panels. Many reviewers enjoy the opportunity to read about projects taking place in other parts of the campus. If interested, please register using our online registration portal. Your participation is appreciated.

The 2022-2023 OVPR Special Research Grants are open for submission.

To submit an application, visit our online submission portal.

The OVPR Special Research Grants (SRG) provide modest research support (up to $1,000) 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.

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: honorific-vpr@austin.utexas.edu.
