CSDE NEWS & EVENTS

June 9, 2023

CSDE Seminar Series

Accomplishments, Awards, A Year’s Worth of Plenty! And, Happy Summer, too!

Last Friday, CSDE hosted its annual end of the year event to celebrate the accomplishments of the wonderful graduate students who comprise a vital aspect of our community. CSDE’s graduate students enroll in the Certificate in Demographic Methods (~50 graduate students), receive travel funding for professional conferences, work as RAs on affiliates’ research projects, and can receive CSDE fellowship support from NICHD or CSDE’s Shanahan Endowment, enabling them to join the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. They are the future of demography and doing great things! Big thank you to Jessica Godwin, Jill Fulmore and Mike Renz for organizing and hosting the event so well! What follows is a quick review, but for more details, please review the end of the year slide show here.

Three Trainees successfully defended their dissertations, including Aja Sutton(Geography - "Modeling the social and political contexts of United States health protective interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic”), Colin Baynes(Global Health - “Bridging Implementation Science and Demography to Understand the Dynamics of Child Survival in Tanzania between 2000-2015”), and Neal Marquez (Sociology - “The Impact of Environmental, Social, and Institutional Factors on Geographic Mobility in the United States”). Each have exciting postdoctoral opportunities. Aja will be a postdoc at Stanford University in the Human Evolutionary Ecology and Health in the Doerr School of Sustainability. Colin will be a postdoc at the University of North Carolina's Carolina Population Center. Neal is a postdoc at Portland State University's Population Research Center.

CSDE Research & Highlights

McCormick Receives New NICHD Grant for Improving Age- and Cause-Specific Under-Five Mortality Rates

CSDE Affiliate Tyler McCormick has been awarded a R01 grant from NICHD for his project, “Improving Age- and Cause-Specific Under-Five Mortality Rates (ACSU5MR) by Systematically Accounting Measurement Errors to Inform Child Survival Decision Making in Low Income Countries.” The project involves collaboration with Li Liu in Maternal/Child Health at Johns Hopkins University and builds on work started by McCormick as part of his earlier K01 award from NICHD. Congratulations, Tyler!

Colburn Appears on NPR’s Marketplace Morning Report to Speak About His Recent Book

CSDE Affiliate Gregg Colburn recently appeared on the Market Morning Report to speak about his co-authored book “Homelessness Is a Housing Problem: How Structural Factors Explain U.S. Patterns.” The interview between Colburn and Marketplace’s host David Brancaccio can be found here!

Swanson Publishes New Article on Small-Area Population Forecasting

New research by CSDE External Affiliate David Swanson entitled, “Boosted Regression Trees for Small-Area Population Forecasting” has been published in Population Research and Policy Review. Swanson and co-authors point to some issues within Small-Area Populatin forecasting and the lack of current research utilizing machine learning techniques. Using 1990 and 2000 census data, the authors develop 10-year age/gender-structured 2010 population forecasts for 50,965 census tracts in the U.S.

NIH Announces Call for Research on Biopsychsocial Factors of Social Connectedness and Isolation on Health, Wellbeing, Illness and Recovery (Due 6/21/23, 6/21/24, 6/21/25)

NIH has announced PAR-21-350 an R01 Mechanism to investigate biopsychsocial factors of social connectedness and isolation on health, well-being, illness and recovery. Research areas of interest include understanding differences and similarities between objective social isolation and loneliness, how complex biopsychosocial processes are regulated in the body, what occurs in response to dysregulation, and antecedent processes that influence responses to the trajectories of social relationships. Studies that involve neurobiological approaches—for example, how social or isolated settings influence neurobiological systems,

Call for Abstracts: 23rd Annual IGSC Conference (Due 9/15/23)

The East-West Center International Graduate Student Conference (IGSC) is accepting abstracts from current graduate students, as well as from scholars, practitioners, artists, and scientists, who have completed a graduate degree within the past three years. IGSC welcomes abstracts globally and from any discipline related to the US and Asia-Pacific region.

This year’s theme is Elucidating the Periphery: Rethinking Neglected Narratives and Novel Approaches. This student organized conference provides an opportunity to venture beyond one’s own boundaries to interface with neglected narratives from peripheral perspectives as well as novel techniques in a transdisciplinary context.

*New* RFAs from NIH on Social Networks and Health (due 11/3/23)

Two new calls seek basic observational or experimental behavioral and/or social science R01 applications that test how intrapersonal and interpersonal mechanisms of behavior change interact with, influence, or are influenced by characteristics of social networks, with implications for health. Research supported through this NOFO will examine at least two levels of analysis: interpersonal processes and social network characteristics. Projects will identify targets for future social network health behavior change interventions across the lifespan, especially in populations in which they are currently largely underdeveloped and untested

CSDE Population Research Planning Grants (PRPGs): Open for Applications

Population Research Planning Grants (PRPGs) are designed to provide in-kind support and/or funds of up to $25k* to support a wide array of activity types throughout the development of a research project. As part of our mission to complement, rather than duplicate, other campus opportunities, we will consider funding many more small and large types of activities that will lead to research products (publications, grants, data access sites and data documentation, code repositories, etc.).

CSDE Matching Support: Open for Applications

CSDE is available to provide matching in-kind or monetary support to accompany a submission to other on-campus funding mechanism, such as Earthlab, Population Health Initiative, Royalty Research Fund, or Urban@UW

All projects inquiring about matching funds, must have a CSDE affiliate who is a UW faculty and will be listed as a PI or co-PI.

Note that we strongly suggest contacting either Development Core Director (Steven Goodreau) or CSDE Director (Sara Curran) to discuss possibilities for your specific proposal before submission.
