Funding Opportunities

COERO assists researchers in finding funding opportunities both internally and externally. Use the information on this page to explore potential funders. 

  • Please contact COERO before contacting a foundation or submitting an application for any grant, fellowship, or foundation opportunity so that we can help you navigate the required university communications, processes, and approvals.

If a funder limits applications to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, you can apply through the Texas State University Research Foundation. Please contact COERO to initiate this type of proposal.
