Applying for Grants

Prospect Research

Submit Your Research Idea

The form below is not mandatory but will send introductory and helpful information to Foundation Relations. Once received, Sonya will contact you to set up a time to discuss possible options to fund your research. You may also contact Sonya directly by email (robinsos@southwestern.edu) or phone (512-863-1578). There are many methods that can be utilized to search for prospective donors. Foundation Relations can help you plan a multi-year funding timeline for long projects or projects focused on career goals. We can help fund one specific project, find initial sources of funding, and/or pare down your options. Once Foundation Relations is aware of your needs and interests, we will continuously search for opportunities on your behalf. We are also happy to teach you how to use various grant databases. 

Please do not directly contact private foundations or corporate funding sources. The University may already be working with them or have a concrete, future plan to work with them in progress. To avoid confusion, Foundation Relations needs to be aware of who plans to contact or work with potential funders. Sonya can help you identify funding sources and serve as an intermediary as you proceed.
