Faculty grants
University funding opportunities
University Research Council (URC) grants
URC research grants fund faculty research across the disciplines to conduct preliminary studies, the results of which will be used to seek external funding and enable completion of scholarly works.
URC travel grants fund travel to conferences held outside the continental United States, the cost of which is not normally covered by regular budgets (use research grant proposal format for non-conference travel).
External funding opportunities
Access databases to search for grants, fellowships and awards or schedule a research consultation, find your subject librarian or request additional database resources.
Faculty fellowships and awards
SMU's Office of National Fellowships and Awards helps faculty apply or be nominated for awards from sources external to the University that are awarded to individuals.
