Call for Proposals and Application Guidelines 2024

​The DePaul Migration Collaborative seeks applications for its 2024-25 Solutions Lab Research Grant program. This program was established in 2023 with funds from Schreiber Philanthropy to support interdisciplinary, community-engaged research projects aimed at directly addressing key challenges facing migrants in the United States and across the world. This grant can support a stand-alone research project or a research project that includes the creation of a new course that provides research and experiential learning opportunities for students.  Successful projects will address critical areas of need as collaboratively identified by the scholars and community partner(s) on the project. The funding runs from June 15, 2024-June 15, 2025, though individual project timelines may vary.  

• The program funds grants up to $45,000 for six to twelve months of work, awarded to interdisciplinary teams comprised of DePaul faculty, staff, students, and/or, if desired, external academic colleagues. 
• Each team must also include a community partner organization with whom the research project has been co-designed and for whom the project will be beneficial. 
• Grant funding will be shared between the academic team and the community partner organization, with the academic team receiving up to $25,000 and the community partner receiving a direct payment of between $6,000-$12,000, depending on the length of the project timeline, for its commitment to working with the team on the project through the life of the award. 
• A team may elect to partner with two organizations, in which case the community partner award will be divided between the two.​
