Purpose: These funds are intended to support investments that significantly enhance TTU's research impact and catalyze new areas of research. Proposals supporting ongoing research or single faculty will receive significantly lower consideration than large research teams creating the opportunity for new areas of federal funding.

Eligibility: Proposal funds must be allocated to TTU faculty and resources, and may not include budgets for other institutions, including system institutions such as TTUHSC. Competitive proposals will align with one or more of our Strategic Research Themes as well as the strategic plans of their college.

Procedure: This opportunity accepts applications on alternating months (open Sept. 1 – 30; closed Oct. 1 – 31). Learn more at Apply TUF
