Internal Funding Opportunities

Division of Research and Innovation Conflict of Interest Form

For some internal funding programs and limited submission competitions, applicants are required to recommend external reviewers and submit a Conflict of Interest (COI) form along with their proposal. This form should be submitted as a separate PDF from the proposal document. Only staff in the Division of Research and Innovation will view these forms. For questions about the COI form or policy, please contact the Office of Research Development at researchdevelopment@tamucc.edu.

Conflict of Interest Policy
The Division of Research and Innovation requires all recommended reviewers adhere to Conflict of Interest (COI) policies in line with the Nation Science Foundation. A recommended reviewer has a COI when they:

• Have a personal, family, or business relationship with an individual named in the proposal that would hinder their ability to serve as a reviewer.
• Have a direct and predictable financial interest in the outcome, or whose immediate relatives have such an interest.
• Have an immediate relative that would receive a direct financial benefit of any amount from the proposal.
• Have a professional or advisory role in the proposal.
• Have been the graduate (doctoral/masters) advisor or an advisee of an individual named in the proposal.
• Have been, or are, a collaborator or had any other professional relationship (e.g., served as a mentor) with any person on the application who has a major role within the past 48 months.
• Have been a co-editor on a publication or book with any person on the application who has a major role within the past 24 months.
• Are from the same institution as the applicant or another person named in the proposal.

It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that all recommended reviewers do not have a COI with any personnel named in the proposal. If an applicant recommends a reviewer that has a COI with themselves or other personnel, the Division of Research and Innovation cannot guarantee that the proposal will be reviewed.

Research Enhancement awards have funded research, scholarly, or creative projects from tenured/tenure- track faculty in all Colleges.

Activities funded could include those related to:

• Research projects
• Course development that includes a research component
• Courses of study
• Novel applications
• Travel for research
• Course release or summer stipend in lieu of teaching
• Literature review
• Student employment

The university rule that governs this program:

University Policy 15.01.01.C0.01 - Administration of the Research Enhancement Program.

The Division of Research and Innovation (R&I) administers these funds. Only tenured or tenure- track faculty members are eligible for RE grants. Proposals must state the research to be completed during the award period. Explain in your proposal how the research fits into your research career plans and future research directions. Provide a clear list of the outcomes expected (grant proposals, publications, outreach, pedagogy, etc.).

The course will take place during Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, and the timeline avoids return weeks and holidays.

In parallel with the course content, the program will offer participants a cohort to help them develop and complete research grant applications. Additional information regarding areas such as developing a research agenda, research methods, statistical analysis, evaluation, etc., will also be available for discussion online.

The program content and timeline are outlined below:

Module 0: Course Overview (week of 9/6/23)

Module 1: Taxonomy and Concepts (week of 9/11/23 – week of 10/2/23)

TCRF Seed Grant Overview

TCRF Seed Grant Application 

Internal Cover Page

Overview: The Research/Creative Activity Seed Grant Program provides intramural grant support ranging from $5,000 to $30,000 for projects demonstrating innovation in either:

• The collection of preliminary data that will be leveraged for extramural grant applications; OR
• The development of an innovative creative work/performance.

There will be only one Seed Grant competition in AY 23-24. Projects must be initiated no later than October 1, 2023, and must be completed by August 31, 2024.* The total amount of program funding is subject to availability.

Applicant Eligibility: Eligible applicants include only tenure-line faculty. Intramural collaborations will be considered. Applicants must not have been awarded any support via the Texas Comprehensive Research Fund (TCRF) after September 1, 2021.

Evaluation Criteria: Proposals must exhibit strong potential for leveraging extramural funding. PIs/PDs must commit to submitting either an external proposal based on the pilot project, or a creative project/performance with a firm date of delivery. Applicants will be required to document their outcomes in their final reports. Additionally, all applicants agree to serve as peer reviewers for applications in one 2023 – 2024 intramural competition, if asked by the Office of Research Development (ORD).

All applicants must demonstrate that the proposed project represents an innovative research/creative direction. Research that is already supported by other sources is not eligible for Seed Grant funding. Proposals pending, or previously reviewed and declined by, an extramural agency will not be considered. However, proposals for creative activities may use Seed Grant funds to leverage existing/pending public or private external support.

Unallowable Costs: Seed Grant funds cannot be used for travel, memberships, or consultants, with the exception of customary costs for developing and delivering creative projects, assuming adequate justification is provided. 

Note: All funded PIs/PDs must agree to meet bimonthly with ORD staff for activity and financial progress reports. Additionally, a final report will be due to ORD within 60 days of the project's end date. PIs/PDs with outstanding final reports are not eligible for additional funding from the Division of Research and Innovation.

Application: See the attachment above. 

* Requests with project periods beyond August 31, 2024, must be discussed prior to submission with Garth Clayton (contact information below).
