As
a researcher at Texas A&M University, we invite you to submit
proposals aimed at
Integration of entrepreneurship and the launch of early stage ventures. This research project is made possible through the Texas A&M University '2013 Tier One Program (TOP):Integration of Multidisciplinary Research and Creative
Activities into the Learning Experience”. Successful research
proposals must target Startup Aggieland, a student accelerator based in
Research Park located on West Campus. The accelerator
contains over 4,700 sq. ft. of class A office space and houses anywhere
from 10-20 student led startups at any one time. These budding
entrepreneurs and their ventures are a unique opportunity to study
entrepreneurship at its earliest stage.
We
invite faculty members, doctoral and masters students of Texas
A&M University to submit proposals for research grants to be awarded
during the 2014 academic year. Proposals must be aimed at the
discipline of entrepreneurship and be applicable to Startup Aggieland, a
student accelerator which promotes and facilitates the
launch of student run businesses http://startupaggieland.tamu.edu/.
This
proposal will award grants up to $5,000 for faculty members and up to
$2,500 for doctoral/masters students per year. This grant program will
run for three years so each grant awarded in this cycle is potentially
renewable for additional funding in years
2 and 3 of the grant period; pending progress and re-approval by the
selection committee.
To
submit a proposal, follow the link below which will take you
to the web address of the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship
which is administering this research project. At the link you will find
the application and more information on the award process. We look
forward to receiving your completed application.
