For all proposal deadlines, please check the Grant Deadlines Calendar. The purpose of the TCU Research and Creative Activities Fund is to provide financial support to enable a faculty member to engage in research or creative activities that will make a significant contribution to the individual's discipline.
Funds are available for two competitions during the year.
The request for proposals during the fall is for new full time tenure track faculty and the spring call is intended for all full time tenure track faculty. Fund Lectureship Awards provide support to enable academic units to bring outstanding scholars and educators to our campus. Lectureships should provide faculty, students, and the community with an experience that would otherwise be unattainable given a department's normal operating budget. The purpose of the TCU Instructional Development Fund is to support projects designed for the general enrichment of teaching and learning that go beyond normal expectations of a faculty member. Education in a Global Society grants are intended to support projects designed to introduce or increase international content in one or more courses, develop materials or activities for existing courses, or to develop new courses.
