External Funding Opportunities

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Office of Research Services (ORS) promotes, facilitates, and supports research, scholarship, teaching, and creative activities that are conducted by DePaul University faculty, students, and staff that are consistent with the university's mission. ORS has compiled the following funding opportunities in Arts and Humanities and the Social Sciences. Full details of each initiative are available on the sponsoring agencies’ websites. If you are interested in applying for one of these initiatives or if you have questions on the opportunities, please feel free to contact ORS Pre-Award staff for assistance at x2-7388.

Full details of each initiative are available on the sponsoring agencies’ websites, which should be consulted in advance of application preparation.

For all proposals, complete the External Sponsor Proposal Form. Once your proposal request is submitted, a member of the ORS Pre-Award team will be assigned to work with you on the proposal. For Foundation and Corporation opportunities, form submission will notify Advancement’s Corporate and Foundation Relations team of your interest and initiate the clearance process. This is required before preparing an application and will connect you with a team member to manage the application process. Contact foundationrelations@depaul.edu with any questions related to Foundation and Corporate opportunities.

Additional funding search tools, including the GrantForward database, are available on the ORS website. A searchable database of select opportunities can be found here.
