The UW’s Office of Research manages all limited submission opportunities, including notifying the research community about them and evaluating which submissions move forward from UW to the funder. If you’d like to be alerted to those opportunities sign up for their listserv or visit their web page: http://depts.washington.edu/research/funding/limited-submissions
Many federal agencies and foundations offer grants, awards, and fellowships that limit the number of applications that can come from one institution. To increase the chances of the UW succeeding in such limited submission opportunity applications, the Office of Research has established a procedure to review pre-proposals in a timely fashion.
Subscription to this listserv is open to all. To subscribe or unsubscribe, please email limitedsubs@uw.edu.
After the OR internal deadline, pre-proposals are reviewed by the OR LSO Review Committee. In their efforts to choose pre-proposals that are most likely to be funded and have high impact, the Committee reviews each pre-proposal based on these criteria:
- Meets all eligibility requirements specified by the funding organization RFA
- Is scientifically and technically strong
- Promotes the greater University research mission
Once the decision has been made on which pre-proposal(s) will go forward, all applicants are notified of the Committee’s decision. Occasionally, the Committee may provide feedback and recommendations to successful candidates so that that the quality of the full proposal can be enhanced. OR provides a limited submissions approval letter that must be attached to the applicant’s eGC1 for the application to be considered by OSP.
For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu or call 206-616-9089.
Please join the CSSS graduate student poster showcase session. Graduate students from three advanced CSSS statistics courses will present their final course projects to the UW community on Monday, June 5, from 3-5 p.m. in HUB 334.
The three classes presenting at the session include:
- STAT/BIOST/CSSS 529: Sample Survey Techniques, taught Dr. Elena Erosheva
- STAT/CSSS 567: Statistical Analysis of Networks, taught by Dr. Tyler McCormick
- STAT/CSSS: Causal Modeling, taught by Dr. Thomas Richardson
More than 30 projects on display will draw on statistical methodology taught in these courses to address a wide range of research questions in the social and health sciences. For example, in the Networks course, one student’s project is using statistical network analysis to identify patterns of social frailty among older Kenyan women living with HIV. Another student is examining the willingness of the University of Washington faculty to engage in interdisciplinary research.

The Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases (EMD) in the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) is seeking to hire two full-time faculty members at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor who conduct research in the following broad areas of emphasis:
• Field-based epidemiology and/or ecology of infectious diseases;
• Laboratory or translational research focused on pathogenesis, microbial, host or vector biology and/or genomics;
• Evaluation and implementation research on drugs, vaccines, diagnostics and/or other interventions for infectious diseases;
• Research developing and employing mathematical models, quantitative epidemiological and other statistical methods utilizing large population datasets.
• Research on the social determinants of the risks and outcomes associated with infectious diseases.
Successful candidates will be expected to develop an independent research program, mentor MPH and PhD students, and teach at least one course at the masters/doctoral level. Applicants should have a doctoral degree by the start of appointment in epidemiology, microbiology, medicine, veterinary medicine, or a related field, and evidence of a promising scholarly career.
This NOFO invites applications from multi-disciplinary teams to establish a Dissemination and Coordination Center (DCC) for the Behavioral and Social Science Ontology Development U01 Research Network Projects (PAR-23-182). Teams must include subject matter experts in 1) one or more fields of behavioral or social science, 2) ontology-related informatics and computational approaches, and 3) Team Science or the Science of Science
The primary responsibilities of the DCC are to: 1) Coordinate and provide logistical support to facilitate collaboration and cross-project learning; 2) Provide ontology-related technical, computational, and informatics expertise and support; 3) Facilitate dissemination of resources and training to support ontology expansion, development, and use; and 4) Provide active outreach and coordination with relevant stakeholders to increase understanding of and demand for BSSR ontology-related tools and resources.

CSDE Affiliate Jane Lee has released a new article in AIDS and Behavior entitled “Reactions to Testing HIV Negative: An Assessment of Measurement Invariance and Associations with Condomless Anal Sex among English and Spanish-speaking Latinx Sexual Minority Men in the United States“. This paper examined measurement invariance of a Spanish-translated Inventory of Reactions to Testing HIV Negative (IRTHN). Congrats on this recent publication Dr. Lee!
In collaboration with several authors, CSDE Affiliate Anjum Hajat recently published “Differential employment quality and educational inequities in mental health: A causal mediation analysis” in Epidemiology. Using information on working-age adults from the 2001-2019 Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the authors construct a composite measure of employment quality via principal component analysis. The authors find that roughly 1/3 of US educational inequities in mental health distress may be mediated by differences in employment quality.
CSDE Affiliate Amy Bailey was recently quoted in a news article by ABC News entitled “Vigilante violence disproportionately harms marginalized communities“. This article highlights Dr. Bailey’s findings that social marginality increases the likelihood of being targeted in violence, through her studies of lynching victims.
CSDE Affiliate Tracy Mroz and co-authors published, “Medical Assistants’ Telehealth Roles and Skills in Primary Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic” in Center for Health Workforce Studies. Their work identifies the skills and roles of MA’s that supported rapid increases in the use of telehealth, policies and practices supporting these roles and
skills, and longer-term needs to improve and maintain these skills and competencies.
CSDE Trainee Crystal Yu, Senior Research Scientist Hana Ševčíková, and CSDE Affiliates Adrian Raftery and Sara Curran published “Probabilistic County-Level Population Projections“ in the upcoming June issue of Demography. The study develops, implements, and validates a Bayesian method for producing subnational population projections, including migration, by extending an approach adopted by the United Nations. Small areal units or subnational units provide special challenges for classic demographic approaches, their application using the counties of Washington State and comparing the results with extant deterministic projections produced by Washington State demographers demonstrates the validity and reliability of the method.
