Award Services

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 lots of shapes, sizes, and even locations. From student-supporting editorships to faculty fellowships that provide time for research endeavors during the academic year, 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.

With faculty mentors, students receive guidance on research methods, resources, and issues common in different fields.
