CSDE Seed Grants Program

Call for Proposals

The Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology (CSDE) announces a second round of our small grant program for 2007-08 that provides direct support to demography research projects and working group collaborations. This developmental program is supported by our Population Research Infrastructure Program award from EKSNICHD and the College of Arts and Sciences.

Priority for seed grant awards (up to $15,000) will be given to pilot studies and preliminary research by junior faculty and by mid-career faculty who are pursuing new directions in population research. Support for multidisciplinary working groups (up to $5,000) will fund series of meetings or discussions that explore new opportunities for collaboration and new approaches to complex problems. Successful proposals will exhibit outstanding scientific merit, innovation, and priority will be given to projects that have a high probability of generating new extramural funding.

To be eligible for a CSDE seed grant the applicant must be a regular (research, tenured or tenure-track) faculty member of the University of Washington and a CSDE affiliate. The principal investigator for a working group application must also be a CSDE affiliate and UW faculty member, and the proposed working group must include at least one other UW or regional CSDE affiliate. A PI may submit only one proposal per round.

Seed grant proposals should include a 250 word abstract, a four-page proposal including objectives, research plan, and a summary of future research and external funding activities, budget and budget justification, and cv’s or biosketches for all key personnel. Proposals for working group support will follow a similar format, but the substantive proposal will be limited to two pages.

Detailed instructions for preparing proposals are on the CSDE website at http://csde.washington.edu/research/funding/grantsDetails.shtml.

Proposals are due on April 1, 2008, and awards will be announced by May 15, 2008. Submit proposals to Josh Patrick, CSDE, Box 353412.

Questions regarding the application procedure should be directed by emailing Shelly Lundberg, Director, CSDE.
