The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi has received its first grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Island University team received a $75,000 grant from a new NSF program called Build & Broaden, which is sponsored by the NSF Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences. The team received funding for its submission, “Build and Broaden: Bridging Critical Research Collaborations for Faculty Success in Texas MSIs.” The grant provides funding for three mini-conferences for MSI faculty in Texas, with a focus on participation by faculty of color, women faculty, and mid-career faculty.
