CSDE Funds Three New Population Planning Research Grants (PRPGs)
Posted: 5/22/2023 (CSDE Research)
CSDE has awarded funds to three different affiliates working to develop their research trajectories in population science and/or population health. Khai Tram is an infectious disease fellow who studies mobility and infectious diseases, with a focus on HIV in Africa; he will be traveling to South Africa this summer to attend a training in epidemic modeling and to meet with collaborators and mentors to help develop a K award proposal. Jeanie Santaularia, Assistant Professor in Epidemiology, will be using her funds to hire a graduate student RA to work on an innovative project looking for increases in Google search data indicative of family violence after the rise of abortion restrictions. And Evans School Professor Heather Hill will be building on her existing funding from Washington State’s Employment Security Department to hire an RA to conduct interviews with persons using the state’s new paid family medical leave system. Congrats to all of you, and best wishes as you conduct this work and expand on it in the future.
