7. UT Internal Funding Support: Targeted Funding Announcements

To help UT Knoxville faculty stay abreast of research opportunities announced by federal agencies and other funding sources, the Office of Research & Engagement monitors requests for proposals and other solicitations for research. Agency announcements are combed daily, and resulting opportunities go out to targeted LISTSERVs. Included in the LISTSERVs are subscribers who are interested in opportunities from the Department of Defense, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, NASA, and the National Institutes of Health, as well as a list that combines all subscribers to the individual lists. A separate LISTSERV offers notifications about opportunities for which the university may submit only a limited number of proposals, which sometimes requires an internal competition among faculty proposers.
