We are committed to advancing community-engaged research in every way that we can. That includes helping you find the funding you need to bring your research to completion.
There are a number of funding opportunities available at IU Indianapolis and from our partners. If you don’t see an appropriate avenue here, we can connect you with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research or consult with you to identify outside sources.
Grants can be a great funding source to pursue at every stage of your research project.
The Center for Service and Learning offers small grants to help you disseminate your research through conference presentations. In addition, Indiana Campus Compact offers larger grants to support your scholarship.
