University of Texas at Austin faculty and staff may request resources from the CNS Dean’s Office for one-time needs. Requests will be considered by the CNS Leadership Team on a semester basis, as noted in the following timelines. Before applying for one-time funding, please note the following:

• Requests should be for one-time needs; recurring needs should be discussed with your unit leadership
• Resource requests cannot exceed $7,500; greater needs should be discussed with your unit leadership
• Requests are considered in the context of available resources, which vary from semester to semester
• Recipients may be offered partial allocations rather than their full funding request
• Requests should articulate clear alignment to CNS strategic impact areas

Submission & Review Timelines 

Online Request Submissions:

RESOURCE REQUESTS MUST BE SUBMITTED ONLINE VIA THE CNS FACULTY & STAFF ONE-TIME FUNDING FORM.

Only complete requests submitted before the semester deadline will be considered. If you submit a request beyond a semester deadline, your request will automatically be considered in the following semester's cycle. Denied requests may be submitted again in future funding cycles.
