For faculty seeking grant proposal writing experience
The Aggie Research Program has partnered with the The Texas A&M University Office for Diversity, Division of Research’s HSI Initiative, and the Office of the TAMU System Vice Chancellor for Research to create the HSI Proposal Development Leadership Program. It is designed to expand research capacity at TAMU and the TAMU System by supporting professional development of faculty who have the experience necessary to successfully acquire HSI grants.
