CSDE Population Research Planning Grants (PRPGs): Applications Open

Posted: 2/4/2023 (CSDE Research)

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 such as the Population Health Initiative, seed grants we will consider funding things activities such as:

  • Use of CSDE services beyond the standard allotments for affiliates. This could include statistical or computational consultations, administrative and logistical support, computer accounts, software purchases that contribute to the general good, virtual server capacity that contributes to the general good, communication or webinar support, etc.
  • Convening a group of scholars for a grant writing retreat or to brainstorm a possible new research collaboration
  • Hiring an RA to analyze data for discussion in the Preliminary Data section of a grant application
  • Small pilot research, when relationship to future funding requests are clearly laid out. Note that research that is well suited to an existing pilot research mechanism on campus should be submitted to that mechanism, with an optional request of matching support from CSDE.
  • Publication-related fees (when enhancing an early-career population research trajectory and no other funding is available)
  • Travel (when specifically enhancing research project development)
  • Many others; just ask!

All projects must have a CSDE affiliate who is UW faculty and is listed as a PI or co-PI, with any number of other collaborators.

We require (PRPGs) potential applicants to contact either Development Core Director (Steven Goodreau) or CSDE Director (Sara Curran) to discuss possibilities for your specific proposal before submission.

Note that while proposals up to $25k are allowed, smaller proposals are more likely to be funded. There is no lower limit on funding size – we welcome requests for software, publications, etc that may be measured in the hundreds of dollars.
