Congratulations to these awardees and all applicants who helped our college have another strong year of REP funding! The C3 team encourages all COFAC faculty who applied for a REP in this past funding cycle and, in the ones prior, to work with C3 to seek external funding opportunities for their projects. Furthermore, Matthew Winn ( mwinn@txstate.edu ) is always happy to help faculty get a jumpstart on REP proposals for the FY 2024 funding cycle!
