Call For Proposals

To enhance the research infrastructure, the Office of the Vice President for Research announces the availability of $150,000 in grant support for major equipment maintenance and service contracts for equipment used only in research. Proposals will be evaluated by this office based on their academic impact and their contribution to the overall intellectual environment at Texas Tech.

They should describe the research project(s), the specific equipment item covered by the service contract, the equipment’s role in this project, and the total amount requested. The amount requested may not exceed $25,000. If the anticipated contract costs exceed this amount, the source of additional funds must be identified.
