The WT Grant Foundation is seeking applications for studies about how to ensure that the research evidence generated by research is used to improve young people’s lives. Research Grants to Improve Research Use supports research on strategies to improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit young people ages 5-25 in the United States. The Foundation wants to know what it takes to produce useful research evidence, what it takes to get research used and what happens when research is used.

*New* NCHS Seeks Solutions for Interoperable Data for Vital Statistics
On June 14, 2023, ATI published a Request for Solutions (RFS): National Center for Health Statistics: National Vital Statistics System Modernization—New Opportunities for Interoperable Data. This opportunity can be found at America’s Data Hub. The Government is seeking new opportunities for the use of interoperable health data to support timely research and public health surveillance. Insights from this project will help to modernize health data interoperability that can inform best practices for a possible, future National Secure Data Service (NSDS) and the broader data and evidence ecosystem.
The submission deadline for the RFS is July 6, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. ET. Membership in ADC is not required for submission. However, if chosen, the selected organization must join ADC. A webinar will be held on June 22 at 10AM ET to review the topic, review RFS submission requirements for each, and provide the opportunity for attendees to ask questions.

IRS Joint Statistical Research Program Seeks Proposals
Through its Joint Statistical Research Program (JSRP), Statistics of Income (SOI) seeks to enable the use of tax microdata by qualified researchers outside the Federal government. Such research can provide new insights and advance the understanding of the ways that existing tax policies affect individuals, businesses, and the economy. It can also provide a new understanding of taxpayer behavior to aid in the administration of the U.S. tax system. Finally, such research can lead to the development of new datasets useful for future tax administration research, as well as new tabulations that can be released to the public. SOI is a division of the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Research, Applied Analytics, and Statistics office. The call for proposals can be found here.
