What a Texas State PI Should Know
September 15, 2023
10 - 11 a.m.
Jowers D120
If you are pursuing external funding, then this is the seminar for you! It is open to anyone from any College who hopes to be a funded Principal Investigator.
The seminar will review how the award process works at TXST. The five presenters will each cover different aspects of the process, from Pre-Award services at your College through to the Office of Sponsored Programs and then back to your College via Post-Award services. Our goal is to convey how all the various agreements and systems interact so that you’ll anticipate the challenges before they happen and thus have better success in both winning awards and spending them efficiently.

My Collaborative Path to an NSF’s Single PI Grant
September 29, 2023
1:30 - 2:30 p.m.
The Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) is the National Science Foundation's (NSF) most prestigious grant, supporting early-career faculty for five years in conducting and integrating a research and an education plan. Although no Co-PIs are allowed, rather than a solitary process, the grant planning and writing can benefit from involving community partners, colleagues, mentors, and different people at the University. In this workshop, I will share my collaborative journey toward the NSF CAREER grant. Together, we will think about how to develop and nurture key partnerships that align with attendees’ foci and goals.
Dr. José Martínez Hinestroza is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. He was recently awarded the NSF CAREER grant for his project “CAREER: Affirming Bilingual Children’s Participation in Mathematics.”
