University leaders announce that 世界杯官方app achieves NRUF eligibility

2023年8月9日 Editor’s note: The following message was sent today via email from President 泰勒Eighmy, Interim Provost 和 Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs 希瑟·希普利, Senior Vice President for Business Affairs 和 Chief Enterprise Development Officer 维罗妮卡萨拉查 和 Interim Vice President for 研究, 经济发展, 和 Knowledge Enterprise 乔安褐变 致全体教职员工:

It is with great pride that we share 世界杯官方app has met the State of Texas’ eligibility criteria to participate in the National 研究 University Fund (NRUF) 和 successfully passed the audit by the State Auditor’s Office. NRUF has provided a dedicated source of funding to enable emerging research universities in Texas to achieve national prominence. This milestone solidifies 世界杯官方app’s position as a university capable of tackling society’s gr和est challenges on local, 州和国家层面.

Along with our Carnegie R1 designation, achieving NRUF was always a waypoint on our journey to become a great public research university. All of you—our faculty 和 staff—played an essential role in this accomplishment. We cannot thank you enough for your commitment to 卓越 和 professional contributions to 世界杯官方app.

We’d especially like to thank the 研究, 经济发展, 和 Knowledge Enterprise (REDKE) division; Vice Provost for Graduate Studies 和 Dean of the Graduate School Ambika Mathur 和 her team; the auditing team that crossed between the divisions of Business Affairs, Academic Affairs 和 REDKE; 和 the deans, 部门的椅子, 和 all faculty who participated in each phase of the evaluation process.

It’s important to note that—as a result of outcomes previously shared from the 88th Legislative Session—NRUF will now be eliminated to create the Texas University Fund (TUF). 这种转变, which must first be approved by a statewide referendum in November, 会在2024财政年度发生吗. Although 世界杯官方app will not be eligible to participate in TUF, we will still receive our expected $5 million share of the fiscal 2023 NRUF fund.

另外, when the legislature eliminated NRUF, they also renamed the Core 研究 Support Fund (CRSF) to the National 研究 Support Fund (NRSF). NRSF is anticipated to bring additional resources to 世界杯官方app 和 the other three emerging research universities in the UT系统—The University of Texas at Arlington, The University of Texas at Dallas 和 The University of Texas at El Paso—contingent upon legislative policy that requires UT系统 to match NRSF funding. We are currently working with UT系统 to better underst和 these additional funding opportunities. We will share updates as we learn more about projected increases over the next two years.

与此同时, let’s take a moment to celebrate our NRUF eligibility 和 the opportunities it brings to 世界杯官方app. 祝贺大家!
