The Research Enhancement Program (REP) provides support for faculty research projects or creative activities.  The primary purpose of the REP is to provide seed money so that faculty members will be able to compete more successfully for larger grants from external sources for continuation of their research projects or creative activities. Two competitions are held each year, one for continuing faculty and one for new faculty.

In order to be eligible for an award from this program the applicant must have an appointment as a full-time faculty member at Texas Woman's University with instructional responsibilities in the classroom during the year of the award. Awards are limited to $8,000 and all grants end August 31 of the fiscal year.

The Research Support Committee looks favorably on proposals that are meritorious in the particular discipline; will enhance the applicant’s record of scholarship and research; will provide financial support and research experience for graduate students; and will furnish preliminary data for a project with good prospects for continuation through outside funding.
