On August 25, 2015, a Memorandum of Understanding between UT System and CONACYT established a framework to encourage cooperation in higher education and research. On May 12, 2016, the Board of Regents authorized an initial 5 million dollars in support of the agreement of cooperation.
The ConTex Office administering this funding is dedicated to cultivating our five programs: Doctoral Fellowships, Postdoctoral Fellowships, Collaborative Research Grants, Faculty Fellows, and Visiting Graduate Research Training. With this renewed funding, we at ConTex look forward to continuing our efforts to enhance bi-national academic and research collaborations between Texas and Mexico.
ConTex applauds this news together with our collaborators and partners in appreciation of their continued support. We look forward to many more years jointly celebrating the development of scholars and of cutting-edge research with a direct impact in the United States, Mexico, and beyond.
