Big Ideas Call For Proposals
Message from the Provost & VP for Academic Affairs
Big Ideas Round Two - call for proposals
To Faculty and Staff
Dear Colleagues,
In August, we opened a second round process for submitting proposals for projects that align with the five approved Big Ideas areas, and a new sixth Big Idea in the humanities and creative arts under the theme of Human Expression. In this round, we are looking for specific projects which, if given the necessary resources, can advance research and student engagement within one of the Big Idea areas.
A Big Ideas Open Forum will be hosted on Friday, September 25, 2020 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. to provide you the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, and receive feedback about developing your proposal. The Open Forum will be hosted virtually through Microsoft Teams. Please RSVP to VPUARSVP@txstate.edu by Wednesday, September 23, 2020.
Visit the Big Ideas website to obtain more information and submit your online proposal. Proposals can be submitted through October 30, 2020..
Sincerely,
Gene Bourgeois
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
