The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs has announced that application materials are available for the 2023-2024 Creative Arts and Humanities Grant Program and the Research Enhancement Program.

The Creative Arts and Humanities Grant Program supports TWU faculty projects in areas which ordinarily have very limited opportunity to receive external grant funding, yet have the potential to enhance scholarship and enhance TWU’s profile nationally and internationally.

The funding amount limit has been increased, and up to $7,500 may be requested to support these projects. All full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty may apply.

Proposals are due Oct. 26. Complete program guidelines and application forms are available on the Creative Arts and Humanities Grants Program webpage.

The primary purpose of the Research Enhancement Program (REP) is to provide seed funding so that faculty members will be able to compete more successfully for larger research grants from external sources for continuation of their research. The REP provides support for all types of faculty research.

The funding amount limit for the REP has been increased, and up to $15,000 may be requested for these projects. All full-time tenured faculty and tenure-track faculty members at Texas Woman’s are eligible to apply and serve as PI and co-investigators. Tenured faculty will be evaluated separately from tenure-track faculty who are not yet tenured, with funds being designated separately for each group.

Proposals for the REP are due Oct. 26. Program guidelines and application forms are available on the Research Enhancement Program webpage.

Budget assistance and proposal preparation for both programs is available through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. To receive assistance from the Center for Research Design and Analysis (CRDA), email CRDA@twu.edu. In order to review the research design before the deadline, the CRDA must receive the draft of the narrative at least two weeks prior to the deadline.
