Resources
A number of resources are available within University of Houston-Downtown to support
sponsored programs and research activities.
The Office of Sponsored Programs provides a central location for all sponsored projects activities. This centralized
function will protect the integrity of UHD research. The office provides support to
the faculty by facilitating the improvement and development of the sponsored programs
climate at UHD. With the goal of maintaining a constant funding cycle for faculty,
the Office of Sponsored Programs enhances the process by assisting UHD faculty in
not only obtaining sponsored project funding, but also in the successful completion
of sponsored projects.
A list of the UHD New Grants and Continuing Awards for Restricted Research can be accessed here.
The Committee on Protection of Human Subjects serves as a source of guidelines and review for faculty who wish to conduct research
in which human subjects are involved.
The Committee on Organized Research comprises faculty members who, in consultation with the vice president of academic
affairs, establish guidelines for the various types of proposals, formatting and evaluation
criteria. The committee receives proposals and distributes funds on a schedule determined
by the committee.
