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.

Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Demography, to work on the CenSoc Project. One-year appointment with possibility of one-year renewal. This appointment is contingent upon receipt of the Ph.D. prior to the start date. Start date is negotiable but as early as March 1st, 2023.
The CenSoc project is funded by NIA (R01 AG058940) to understand mortality. It consists of a set of linked data sets between the 1940 Full Count Census data with Social Security death records. This large-scale, public microdata data set is being used for advancing understanding of mortality disparities in the United States. The project uses record linkage techniques to match deaths aged 65-and-over observed from 1975 to 2009 back to individual, family, and neighborhood characteristics in the census. The scale and detail of CenSoc data allows researchers to make new discoveries in areas such as (a) mortality disparities by education, national origin, and race; (b) early life conditions and later-life mortality; and (c) geographic variation and the neighborhood determinants of mortality. These topics are of increasing importance in understanding increases in disparities in life expectancy in the United States. CenSoc research expands the ability to study old-age mortality disparities and the determinants of longevity. Please visit the website censoc.berkeley.edu for more information about the project.
The Department of Sociology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB) invites applications for two postdoctoral researcher positions (Investigador ordinari) in the ERC-funded research project LIFELONGMOVE “Understanding spatial mobility from early life into adulthood”. This 5-year project is led by Professor Sergi Vidal and will kick off in early 2023. The project will be carried out in the Centre for Demographic Studies (Centre d’Estudis Demogràfics, CED) located at the UAB campus. The posts require collaborative research stays within Europe and travel for conferences, training and dissemination activities.
The successful applicants will have demonstrated experience in longitudinal data modelling, working with large, complex datasets. The postdoctoral researchers are expected to make a leading contribution to the LIFELONGMOVE project. They will contribute to the development of the project’s methodological and theoretical tasks –developing their own research agenda and engaging in collaborative research– and to contribute to the management of the project and coordination of project related activities. There are no teaching obligations associated to this post, except for the co-supervision of more junior project members.
