Limited Submissions
A “limited submission” refers to a funding opportunity that limits the number of proposals or applications that an entity can submit each cycle. UTSA has an internal selection process to determine which applicant(s) will submit to these opportunities. The Office of Research Partnerships and Strategy oversees this process.
We have established a transparent and fair process that does not overburden the applicant(s) or reviewers charged with selecting the most competitive proposals to represent the university. Limited submission projects are considered institutional and should demonstrate benefits to UTSA. Exceptions to this process are made in certain situations, for example, when a deadline is short, when a program is highly focused, or when an opportunity reflects a strategic priority or requires significant institutional commitment.

Potential Opportunities
Limited Submission
Sponsoring agencies occasionally limit the number of applications/nominations the University may submit for specific grants and awards. When a call for proposals is “limited”, the Office of the Vice President for Research uses an internal selection process to determine which application(s) will be submitted to the sponsor for funding consideration. Limited submission grants should be considered institutional and demonstrate benefits to UTSA.
Seed Grants
The Office of the Vice President for Research through the Office of Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI), administers several annual internal funding opportunities, or “seed grants.”
Early Career Faculty
The Office of Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI) maintains a list of funding opportunities that we are currently aware of for early career faculty.
Department of Defense
AFRL Minority Leaders – Research Collaboration Program
The Minority Leaders – Research Collaboration Program (ML-RCP) was created in 2005 at AFRL. The ML-RCP enables collaborative research partnerships between AFRL and academia that engage a diverse talent pool in addressing foundational research challenges to support the nation’s air, space, and cyberspace technology needs. This program is the Air Force’s largest endeavor with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs).
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
Established in 1958 as part of the U.S. Department of Defense, DARPA pursues opportunities for transformational change rather than incremental advances. It does so collaboratively as part of a robust innovation ecosystem that includes academic, corporate, and governmental partners. To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers throughout this ecosystem to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current and predicted practical problems through applied research.
Office of Naval Research
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) constantly looks for innovative scientific and technological solutions to address current and future Navy and Marine Corps requirements. They want to do business with people and organizations with ground-breaking ideas, pioneering scientific research, novel technology developments, and first-class support services. ONR announces current areas of interest through Broad Agency Announcements, Funding Opportunity Announcements, Special Program Announcements, Requests for Proposals or Quote, Special Notices, Requests for Information and Seaport-e. Read about the differences in these various postings and find links to specific announcements.
Air Force Research Laboratory Minority Leaders – Research Collaboration Program
The ML-RCP aims to enable, enhance, and expand the research capabilities of HBCUs and MSIs through collaborative research efforts with AFRL Funding opportunities for projects of interest to AFRL range from $50,000 – $125,000 per year. The AFRL publishes research topics through a Project Opportunity Announcement (POA). Faculty participants respond with a white paper submission. If a white paper is selected, the AFRL invites the faculty participant to submit additional information through a Request for Project Proposal (RFPP). AFRL independently reviews and selects all projects.

The recently created San Antonio Partnership for Precision Therapeutics (SA PPT) is a ‘one voice’ platform for an innovative research program in precision therapeutics that builds on current collaborations and unique strengths across four leading San Antonio-based research institutions: UT Health San Antonio (UT Health SA), The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed), and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), in conjunction with military/Veteran’s Affairs engagement through UT Health SA’s Military Health Institute (MHI). SA PPT provides a platform to integrate the drug discovery pipeline for new therapeutics with “multi-omic” individualized approaches in precision medicine to address the specific and diverse medical needs of our city’s population, many of which mirror those of populations across the nation.
