TAMIU INTRAMURAL GRANT PROGRAMS
UNIVERSITY RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AWARD (URDA)
This program aims to support research projects that have strong theoretical reasons, empirical support, and practical reasons to justify the development and/or evaluation of the proposed project. This program is designed to fund projects that require either longer than 1 year and/or require more funding than a standard University Research Grant to complete the project.
Preference is given to individuals collecting preliminary data for an external grant submission, as the ultimate goal of this program is for the applicant(s) to secure external funding for his or her research.
