Review Funded Proposals
You can search for funded proposals by clicking on the databases below.
Note that for each database listed, only abstracts and limited project information may be provided. If you wish to obtain a complete funded proposal, the Strategic Research Initiatives can obtain proposals on your behalf; please contact us at research@txstate.edu with your request.
While reviewing previously funded abstracts and proposals is necessary for developing successful applications, prospective PIs are encouraged to contact awardees personally. A dialogue with a successful PI can provide further insight into the application process.
