We FACILITATE Interdisciplinary initiatives for the most innovative science and the greatest impact
The Office of Research Development (ORD) within the Office of Research is a key strategic partner for faculty across divisions in the pursuit of funding for visionary, large-scale interdisciplinary research.
We offer support during the entire pre-award timeline – from a nascent idea and teaming to proposal submission and site review preparation. We also administer the Big Ideas Generator (BIG) seed funding program, coordinate the internal competition for limited funding opportunities, and manage the appointments of researchers into the UChicago Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering (CASE).
