Call for Proposals: Scholarship Learning Community Facilitators
The Office of Research Serviced (ORS) solicits proposals for topics for Scholarship Learning Communities (SLCs) to take place in the 2024-2025 academic year. SLCs are small groups of faculty (max. 10) that meet regularly through the academic year to learn about a chosen topic together. Faculty of any rank are eligible to facilitate SLCs, and facilitators receive an honorarium of $1000. Topics can be anything related to scholarship, innovation, research, or creative activity.

Many of these programs aim to encourage teams of faculty from across academic units to engage in interdisciplinary investigations of research problems, support the efforts of faculty to enhance their research through engagement with an international partner institution or faculty member, and provide support for equipment and research related conferences. For more details on these grant programs, including funding levels, see the
Academic Affairs webpage.
Academic Growth and Innovation Fund (AGIF)
The AGIF program was established in 2018 with an annual budget of $2M to encourage and support innovative academic ideas that will positively affect DePaul revenue within the next 3 years. Two deadlines have been established for AGIF grant proposals: December 10th and February 15th. Proposals may range from projects involving the collection of data needed to conceptualize an innovative idea, to projects ready for full implementation and can be submitted under one of the following three programs: idea/concept generation, prototype/working model, and institutional adoption/commercialization.
