International Research Accelerator (IRA)

Deadline: April 1st (Anticipated)

Description: The International Research Accelerator (IRA) program is a joint effort between the Office of International Affairs and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to support faculty members engaged in international research with the goal to increase global engagement opportunities for the campus community.

The maximum amount of funding that can be requested is $15,000 and it is anticipated that 3-5 awards will be made depending on the available funding to the program. IRA funding is available for both new and existing projects. Successful projects must have a strong international component, link to strategic goals of the university, and have viable and articulated research outcomes. The faculty member must also have prior accomplishments in working with international research grants. Thus, this is not a "seed" grant, but rather builds upon proven excellence and "accelerates" additional research.

IRA Eligibility:  All Texas State faculty members with full-time, continuing nine-month academic appointments are eligible to apply. Tenured, tenure-track, and clinical faculty who hold the rank of assistant professor, associate professor or professor may apply. 

Department chairs, School Directors, Program Directors, Deans, Assistant/Associate Deans, and Research Faculty are not eligible to apply. Professor of Practice faculty and Program Faculty may be included and compensated as internal consultants.

For more information on the International Research Accelerator please review the Application Guidelines.
