Faculty
There are many avenues for faculty members to procure research support:
U of C Internal
There are many pilot and feasibility programs on campus for a preliminary investigation to determine the feasibility of a study. The Institute for Translational Medicine Pilot Program is a good example.
The Foundation Relations office can aid faculty in identifying and soliciting donation funding for research goals.
Federal Agencies
If you know of a particular NIH grant mechanism (R01, U54, P50, etc.) for which you would like to apply, the NIH has provided a table to guide you as to the probable deadlines for such mechanisms.
Grant opportunities offered by the 26 federal grant-making agencies can be found on Grants.gov.
The National Science Foundation has additional opportunities.
Foundations
This is a searchable portal for foundation support. Funding from a foundation could either be in the form of a non-federal grant or discretionary support.
Other Resources
The Arete Initiative exists to catalyze large-scale projects that cross departmental, divisional, and even institutional lines.
The University of Chicago’s University Research Administration (URA) website also has a list of various websites that may help potential grant applicants.
