Student Lunch will take place following the seminar. Sign ups for 1-on-1 talks can be found here.
CSDE will be hosting Dr. Jung-Hwa Ha, Department of Social Welfare, Seoul National University for her talk on Guiding end-of-life care planning with cultural contexts and cognitive impairment in mind.
Advance care planning (ACP) is the process of making plans and decisions regarding end-of-life care (EOLC) when one still has the physical and cognitive capacity to do so. By engaging in ACP, family members and health care professionals can gain insight into their loved one’s or their patient’s preferences and goals concerning EOLC. In this presentation, I share a series of studies related to ACP in Korea and the US. The first study examined cultural differences in ACP and various strategies that social workers use to initiate conversations on ACP in South Korea and the US. We conducted qualitative interviews with twelve social workers and a thematic content analysis of the transcribed data. Our findings showed that different cultural norms and generational viewpoints surrounding death and health-related decision-making influenced how people prepared for EOLC. Whereas principles of self-determination and autonomy guided ACP practices in the US, decisions regarding EOLC were more often made in consultation with family members in Korean and Korean-American communities. Nevertheless, social workers in both countries identified relationship-building, empowerment, and individualized approaches as common strategies in initiating discussions on ACP. In the second study, we examined the benefits and challenges of ACP specifically for persons with dementia and identified the individual, societal, and cultural factors that needed to be considered for ACP to be helpful for this growing population. Finally, I share a coaching manual for dementia-specific ACP that our team has developed and discuss plans for future study to test its feasibility and effectiveness among older Koreans.

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.
CSDE is available to provide matching in-kind or monetary support to accompany a submission to other on-campus funding mechanism, such as PHI, EarthLab, or Urban@UW.
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.
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. Ideally this will occur at least 10 days before the deadline for the principle funding mechanism.
The UW Libraries have secured ongoing funding to purchase annual updates to the Data Axle business and consumer data, housed on the UW Data Collaborative. The data provide over 400 variables covering some 17 million US businesses spanning 1997 to the present and over 300 variables covering more than 275 million US consumers, spanning 2006 to the present. Annual data updates covering the previous year are generally made available in February. The data were initially brought to the UW through an Allen Signature Award from the UW Libraries in 2019 and the annual data updates had been supported by bridge funding from UW Libraries, the Runstad Department of Real Estate, and CSDE up until 2022.
Data Axle data have been used in several research projects, including a recently awarded R21 proposal, “Gentrification, Mobility, and Exposure to Contextual Determinants of Health” (R21HD108570, principal investigator CSDE affiliate Arthur Acolin), which will investigate the relationship between gentrification, displacement, and contextual determinants of health using the Data Axle consumer trace data as a unique new source to examine long term mobility for a large number of individuals.
The data have also been used in several other grant proposals and awarded grants, “Examining Variations in Changes in Crime Hot Spots Across 6 U.S. Cities,” funded by the Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis Center (CINA) a DHS funded center (PIs Marie Tillyer, University of Texas San Antonio, Affiliates Arthur Acolin and Rebecca Walter), “Exploring Associations between Residential Location and Health Behaviors in Youth (EARLY): a Twin Study” (PIs Bethany Williams, Glen Duncan, and Ofer Amram, all at Washington State University); three academic presentations, and seven publications.

The All of Us Research Program (All of Us) within the Office of the Director (OD) encourages investigators to apply for grant awards that will advance research in high-priority mission areas of the Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) through two companion FOAs (1) one to use standard methods and approaches to analyze currently available data within the All of Us Research Program’s Researcher Workbench and (2) one to develop new methods, models, and tools and use them to analyze data in the Researcher Workbench. The new tools will be made broadly available to the scientific community. This FOA uses the R21 grant mechanism for new tool development and application, while the companion FOA (link) uses the R03 grant mechanism to support data analysis using standard methods
The All of Us Research Program is building a database to help transform the future of health research by equipping researchers nationwide with expansive health data from various populations, including those populations understudied in biomedical research . The All of Us Research Program characterizes populations that are underrepresented in biomedical research (UBR) as groups that historically have low participation rates in biomedical research studies (including clinical trials). These groups include (1) racial and ethnic minority groups and/or (2) sexual and gender minority groups; (3) children and older adults; and people with (4) disabilities, (5) barriers to accessing health care, (6) lower incomes, or (7) limited educational attainment; and/or (8) residents of rural areas.
