The university will approach the
state today to match new research
dollars pledged to UTA programs.
Tuesday is the first day for universities to apply for matching
funds through the Texas Research
Incentive Program, one of several
programs designed to help Texas
emerging research universities attain Tier One status.
On Monday, the university
would not release information on
the amount pledged.
“I anticipate that early Tuesday,
the university will release information about new, private gifts that
we anticipate will be eligible for
state matching funds intended to

The program is a $50-million fund created by House Bill
51 in the last legislative session.
The state passed HB 51, written
by Rep.
Dan Branch, R-Dallas, in
