Research Enhancement Assistance Program (REAP)

Research Enhancement Assistance Program, at the Health Science Center in Fort Worth, was developed by the Office of Research and Innovation to work with the President’s Research Council, the VPR’s Research Advisory Committee, the College of Biomedical and Translational Sciences, and the Office of Institutional Advancement to identify funding opportunities for HSC faculty. REAP identifies new funding opportunities regularly, and updates are made to the grant opportunities section on the REAP webpage by category: external, fellowships, foundation, and limited submissions. REAP also manages the institution’s intramural funding program which provides grantsmanship training by Dr. Paula Gregory who is regularly invited to give grantsmanship workshops at NIH.
