As part of the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research mission to support and enhance research across MSU Texas, Intramural Grants are designed to encourage, facilitate, and support MSU Texas research. The grants are intended to support research efforts of faculty, staff, and graduate students. The term “research” is used broadly, and includes traditional research, creative endeavors, and all forms of scholarly expression.
The number of awards made are contingent on the availability of funds as well as the quality and quantity of applications received.
For Fall 2020, five grant categories are accepting submissions. All applicants should select one of the following grant categories. Applicants with questions about categories, eligibility, or other aspects of the application process are encouraged to contact Brittany Norman in OSPR at sponsoredprograms@msutexas.edu.
| Grant Description | Deadline | Individual Award Values (not to exceed) |

- Fall 2020 Intramural Grant Application
In some Fall 2020 Intramural Grant programs (see RFP for details), a graduate student research project can be attached to the faculty member’s grant, and an additional $750 can be requested for the student award. The graduate student should develop their grant proposal separately using the Graduate Student Research Grant application form. When requesting a graduate student grant, the PI should make clear the role played by the student in the proposed research. In addition, please remember that all graduate student grants must be expended within the same academic year in which it is awarded—not at the end of the fiscal year, as with faculty grants. For guidelines and application forms, please visit the Graduate Student Research Grant web page.
