Proposal Services

All departments and units within the College of Liberal Arts that do not have in-house Research Administration work through the CoLA RSO Proposal Services team to apply for and receive sponsored research funds at UT Austin. Our comprehensive proposal assistance is tailored to each faculty member, student and sponsor to ensure our best is represented to prospective funders.

Award Management

The funds are here! What's next? As complicated as research proposals often are, the landscape of award management is even more so. The policies, regulations, processes and best practices at the local, state, federal and international levels are significant. From the moment an award is fully executed at UT, to its final expenditures, reporting and closeout, there is a lot to manage!

External Fellowships

Fellowships come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and even locations. From student-supporting editorships to faculty fellowships designed to protect research time that's usually devoted to teaching, these types of funding mechanisms are a different beast compared to organized sponsored research. The RSO helps CoLA faculty and students navigate fellowships and the foundations that fund them.

More info coming soon!
