The Faculty Research Committee, elected by the Faculty Senate and chaired by the Vice Provost for Research, reviews proposals and awards grants and fellowships on an annual cycle. The Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs provides additional internal resources. Information on internal grants, fellowships, and other resources may be obtained through the Internet from the web site of the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration (OSPA) by accessing the UNT home page and clicking on research under ACADEMICS.
