 Videos:

In this video series, we interview people who have successfully obtained external grants for research or programs. We ask them to share their experiences and provide advice on how they navigated the process of applying for a grant, complying with its guidelines, and supplying deliverables to the funding agencies.

The mission of the series is to generate information that will inspire University faculty, staff, and students to seek out funding opportunities and apply for grants in the areas of research and development programs at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
