Engaging in research is a fundamental experience for graduate students in the College of Science and Health. Your support will help students conduct, present, and publish original research through the Graduate Research Fund (GRF), the only program of its kind in our College.
The GRF provides funding for graduate students to conduct independent research – including thesis and dissertation work – as well as present at academic conferences as lead authors, where they gain valuable scholarly experience and develop crucial professional networks.
Our graduate students research everything from diversity in the workplace to providing compassionate healthcare to climate change, and much more! The GRF has supported hundreds of groundbreaking projects that could not have happened without this much needed funding. Hear testimonials above from two recent recipients, Jennifer Sandoval and Quin Lee, about how the grant shaped their research and professional development.
In partnership with Inspire DePaul, we are asking for your participation in this fundraising campaign so that the GRF can continue to fuel the passion, learning, and career growth that student research enables. Your contributions will ensure the success of our graduate students by enabling them to access the materials and travel services they need (airfare, accommodations, conference registration, and more) that make innovative research and dissemination possible. Be an advocate today for DePaul’s science and health leaders of tomorrow!
