University Research Council
DePaul offers ten internal research grant programs with two application deadlines, one in fall (October 15th) and one in spring (March 15th). 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. Additional details are available on the
Academic Growth and Innovation Fund webpage.
