The Texas Air Quality Research Program (AQRP) seeks proposals in research areas outlined in the AQRP Priority Research Areas. Proposals must be submitted electronically to the program email address
Up to approximately $1.25 million in research project funding is available. It is anticipated that most awards will be funded in amounts ranging from $150,000 to $300,000. Proposers may be requested to respond to reviewer questions after the ITAC review. It is also anticipated that work will begin as early as August 2024. All work should be completed by August 31, 2025.
Two documents are available to assist those considering submission of a proposal to the AQRP. The State of the Science of Air Quality in Texas provides an overview of the scientific findings from the AQRP from 2016-2021. The Texas Air Quality Research Program Priority Research Areas 2024-2025 outlines the Research Priorities for the 2024-2025 funding period.
Each PI and Co-PI should review the Subaward Agreement template and make it available to their institution’s Authorized Official Representative. This will be the contracting vehicle between the AQRP (UT Austin) and entities whose proposals are selected for funding. Proposers, including those at collaborating institutions, are required to submit an Acknowledgement form signed by their Authorized Official Representative, indicating that they have received and reviewed the Subaward Agreement template and that they understand the terms and conditions of receiving funding under the AQRP.
