What's New

Note: Unless otherwise noted, all UTSA proposals need to be entered and routed through Cayuse, the University's on-line proposal submission and routing system, and reviewed/approved by the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP). Effective January 1, 2009, OSP will be requiring a new electronic routing form. Paper routing form will no longer be accepted by OSP. You can find the new routing form at: https://comal.it.utsa.edu/routing/login.php. If you have any questions, please contact your department pre-award Grants and Contracts Specialists or call x4340.

NSF Scholarships in STEM

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century.

The Recovery and Reinvestment Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression. The federal agencies charged with implementing the Recovery Act are preparing to roll out funding announcements, the vast majority of these being competitive research grants. In an effort to keep our research community informed of these new grant announcements, we have set up a Stimulus Funding website to enable quickly access to ARRA-related information as we receive it.

These opportunities might be subject to the limited submission process. Please contact OSP for additional information.

Research Opportunities on Cibolo Preserve

Faculty from UTSA and their students can now ask for approval for access, for research purposes only, to the Cibolo Preserve, a 500 acre tract just east of Boerne in south central Kendal County,. The land is notable for its beauty, variety of flora and fauna, geological features and areas of archeological interest. The land is bisected by a creek with sections on the floodplain of the creek and recent alluvium on adjacent terraces of the creek. The most unique geological feature is a narrow canyon through a large exposure of caprinid reef. The Office of Vice President for Research is currently working with Cibolo Preserve trustees to present suggested projects for research and learning for Spring 2009.

Additional information and an approval request form, for UTSA personnel only, are available at: http://vpr.utsa.edu/cibolo/
