Chancellor's Innovation Fund

The Chancellor’s Innovation Fund provides flexible support to address the campus' most promising priorities in enhancing student success and CU Denver's prominence as an institution of higher education. The support this fund provides allows our campus to respond quickly and nimbly to new and exciting opportunities, particularly in the areas of research and industry and community partnerships. Our research enterprise continues to expand, and we leverage support for the Chancellor’s Innovation Fund to provide faculty with training and mentoring programs that help them become even more skilled in attracting additional funding for their ground-breaking work. As an urban institution that helps fuel the region’s economy, we continue to create and promote productive partnerships with industry and communities. The research, creative work, and innovation that CU Denver generates often reverberates throughout our communities, helping to elevate them in ways large and small.
