- Liberal Arts Grants Services
Grants Services supports faculty, graduate students, and staff in the College of Liberal Arts. We encourage a culture of grant seeking in the Humanities and Social Sciences and aim to:
- Help grant-seekers find funding opportunities through the COLA Grants Digest.
- Disseminate funding opportunities announced by the Office of the Vice President of Research to faculty.
- Ensure the research community stays informed of updates and changes to University, city, state, and federal policies and procedures.
- Assist researchers with proposal development including budget and budget justification preparation and inform individuals on the fellowship and grant submission process.
- Facilitate faculty and graduate student grant submissions through the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) and the Office of Corporate Relations and Foundation Relations (OCRFR).
- Perform outreach efforts through workshops and in-person meetings in order to educate the community on resources and tools offered in the College of Liberal Arts and at The University of Texas.
- Provide guidance to grant awardees and their departments on post-award matters.

The Office of Research & Graduate Studies collaborates with Liberal Arts departments, centers, institutes, and the Graduate School to support initiatives that increase graduate student success and improve students’ work environment. In addition to steering College policies, our office participates in the university-wide conversations about graduate student parental accommodations, dissertation embargo, funding, professional development, placement targets, and more. We investigate college, university, and national data on graduate education; design and offer professional development opportunities for graduate students; and work on best practices for student recruitment and support with fellowships and employment in academic job titles.
Policy Statements
College-level policies impact students' academic progress. In establishing and revising such policies we respond to university and national conversations on graduate education and career options, helping shape these conversations.
