Welcome
Welcome to the DePaul research website where we highlight the research, creativity, and innovation hallmarks of our institution. DePaul University prides itself on research that is cutting-edge, multidisciplinary, and transformative. Our
talented and diverse faculty work collaboratively across our ten colleges to advance knowledge in a large range of disciplines and meaningfully engage undergraduate and graduate students in research to enhance their skills and curiosity.
DePaul’s research and innovation ecosystem encourages faculty to apply their research to real-world problems in the communities we serve. The result is a vibrant scholarly community that partners with Chicago’s communities and institutions, industries, and international collaborators. Grounded in the history and culture of DePaul, these collaborations are inspired by the Vincentian question “What must be done?” Faculty, students, and staff strive to use vision, creativity and determination to discover new pathways towards a more just and compassionate world, one that we would be proud to pass onto the next generation.
DePaul supports research and facilitates collaborations in a variety of ways. Seed funding to support innovative research and creative activities is offered through over 20 internal grant programs, and the Office of Research Services and the Advancement Office both assist faculty, students, and staff in obtaining and administering intramural and extramural support. The DePaul library, the collaborative spaces, and the various centers and institutes are welcoming places to share ideas and leverage research resources available on the University’s two campuses.
At DePaul we are committed to innovation and creativity, and every member of our community is part of the work of experiencing and changing the world around us. It is truly an honor and a privilege to be part of DePaul University’s collective efforts to shape the education of our students, create and advance knowledge, and provide service to our community and beyond.
Sincerely,
Daniela Stan Raicu, Ph.D.
Associate Provost for Research
