The University Research Council (URC) supports the faculty's research, scholarship, and creative activities through a range of competitive grants, the paid leave program, and the Spirit of Inquiry Award. In addition to helping faculty maintain their intellectual vitality, the grants and leaves are intended as a stepping stone for securing external funding. Faculty should consult with the
Office of Research Services (ORS) for assistance with external funding resources. You can reach the URC by emailing
URC@depaul.edu.
The URC conducts fall and spring grant competitions. The fall proposal deadline is October 15th, and the spring deadline is March 15th. URC paid leave proposals are due by December 15th. The deadline for the Spirit of Inquiry Award nominations is May 1st. See the following web pages for details and instructions:
