The Late-Stage Research Grant (LSRG) is a highly competitive program administered by the LAS Dean’s Office and adjudicated by the College Research Committee. It is designed to support research projects undertaken by tenure-line faculty that are verifiably accepted for imminent publication and lack only final requirements necessitating paid clerical assistance. In this way, the LSRG funds projects that the FSRG and URAP does not.
Applications for the LSRG may be submitted at any point during the calendar year; however, the LAS College Research Committee will review applications from September 15-June 15 only. Applications not approved for funding by June 15 will be deferred until the following Autumn Quarter.
Program funding is limited. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as they meet expectations explained in the guidelines, available below. See the guidelines for instructions on how to apply. Previous LSRG recipients are identified here. Questions may be directed to LASgrants@depaul.edu.
