Mission & Focus Areas
The university’s stated mission is to sustain excellence in communicating and creating knowledge and fostering a dynamic community of scholars and students. Its 2024 filing describes programs in instruction, research, scholarships and fellowships, and supporting services.
The university’s 2025 grants included subawards to universities, medical and research organizations, and other institutions. For example, Rush University Medical Center describes its mission as improving health through patient care, education, research, and community partnerships. The American College of Radiology Association describes its purpose as promoting educational and professional interests related to radiology.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the university reported 201 grants totaling $90,864,039. Grants ranged from $5,182 to $8,846,242, with a median of $161,033. The largest listed awards were subawards: $8,846,242 to Northwestern University; $4,775,505 to the American College of Radiology; $4,724,004 to the University of Illinois Chicago; $4,390,018 to the University of Pittsburgh; and $4,342,241 to Rush University Medical Center.
The Journal of Women’s History Scholars Research Grant is listed as active and offers individual awards of up to $4,000 for travel, research, or writing in women’s and gender history, especially transnational topics. It is open to historians in the field, with priority for unaffiliated, adjunct, or early-career scholars who may have limited access to other funding.
The University of Chicago Women’s Board considers proposals from university departments, centers, schools, students, student organizations, faculty, divisions, and offices. Proposals must reflect and bolster the university’s core values and address one of five areas: science research, humanities research, arts and cultural institutions, quality of student life, or community outreach. Requests may be for $10,000 to $100,000; most funded grants are below $50,000, and the average is about $30,000–$40,000. Faculty salaries cannot be covered, though certain other project personnel costs may be requested. Applicants whose letters of intent are accepted submit a full proposal with an endorsement letter from a unit or department leader; units may have their own vetting processes and deadlines.
For limited-submission and internal funding opportunities, the university uses an internal selection process. Opportunities are posted with internal deadlines; for limited submissions, applicants must first receive an internal award before submitting to the sponsor. The university’s research administration guidance says most proposals, especially federal ones, require its review and involvement.
