OSSR is the primary point of contact and support for external grant submissions for faculty in the social sciences and humanities (except for Psychology - see below). Researchers with a grant application should contact OSSR Director Eve Ali Boles at eali@uic.edu at least 4 weeks in advance of the deadline. For more information on how external grant submissions are handled at UIC, please view the recording of our fall 2022 information session.
Psychology faculty contemplating grant opportunities should contact LAS Assistant Director of Faculty Research Activities Anna Brailovsky at abrailov@uic.edu. For more information regarding LAS Research Development visit their website.
The LAS Committee on Social Science Research (LAS-CSSR) provides faculty leadership to raise the visibility of social science research and support faculty efforts in obtaining externally funded research grants. The committee's membership comes from the social science departments at LAS. For more information, visit the CSSR website here.
