Office of Research Services (ORS)

Welcome to the Office of Research Services

Tracking Federal Changes 

In response to recent and ongoing executive orders and directives from the OMB, our university leaders are working diligently to understand how best to support our mission-driven research and creative activities and the talented people across our institution who drive this work. There is a lot of communication with, and learning from, key stakeholders in government, the private sector, other universities, and other communities. Please visit the ORS Policies Page for the most up to date information about federal changes for DePaul research.

We look forward to continuing to support your research and creative activities here at DePaul. Thank you for your continued commitment to our Vincentian mission as we navigate this period of change.
