Research Resources
Wi-Fi Hot Spots
Wi-Fi hot spots are available to faculty and students who need off-campus internet access for travel, field research, or student projects.
If you want to reserve a hot spot, please contact Irma Preciado at i.preciado@tcu.edu with the dates your are needing the device and your availability to pick the device up from his office.
When using the hot spots, please keep in mind:
- They need to be kept turned off while on campus to avoid interfering with TCU’s wireless network.
- They can only be used in the U.S.
- They only work on Sprint’s network which is limited.
Faculty Manuscript/External Grant Review Funding
Up to $500 in funding is available to faculty who would like to fund an honorarium for an external, expert reviewer to provide feedback on a first- or senior-author manuscript or grant application where the faculty member is a PI. The intent of this funding is to help faculty gain timely feedback from expert reviewers prior to manuscript/grant submission, making that research product more likely to be accepted. To take advantage of this funding, the faculty member should have a manuscript draft or grant application draft that is near-final and ready to be reviewed.
To request this funding, faculty should complete the attached application, which will require faculty to identify the product outlet (journal or grant-funding mechanism), a short explanation of how review will help move the product forward, and a suggested expert reviewer with the qualifications of said reviewer explained. The reviewer does not have to have already agreed to serve as a reviewer; the Associate Dean of Research e.lund@tcu.edu will assist the faculty member in reaching out to the reviewer to establish a contract for review. If faculty need assistance locating appropriate reviewers, they should contact the Associate Dean for Research e.lund@tcu.edu.
Applications for this funding should be submitted via Irma Preciado at i.preciado@tcu.edu. Funding will be made available on a rolling basis. Applications for this funding should be made with sufficient lead time prior to submission of a research product: expect up to a month between application for this award and completion of an external review.
