Join us for a talk by Maria-Elena Young (University of California, Merced) about “Immigrant Policy Exclusions and the Health of Latinx and Asian Immigrants in California.” This talk will present findings from the Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy (RIGHTS) Study which sought to assess the health impact of Latinx and Asian immigrants’ direct encounters with exclusionary immigrant policies. Through a novel, population-based survey and latent class analysis, Young shows the patterns of policy exclusions experienced across within sample of Latinx and Asian immigrants in California and how clusters of exclusionary experiences are associated with health care access and health status.

Professor Rebecca Tipton (The Swiss Graduate Institute) will speak about her research around ethical review in the social sciences.  Since 1974, institutional ethical review of human subjects research has transformed from a peculiarly American practice to a global standard. However, worldwide, social scientists have found institutional ethical review ill-suited for addressing ethical concerns in their disciplines. Critiques of ethical review made by scholars of politics and IR have emphasized ethics in practice. Our intervention instead reframes ethical review as an institutional and organizational structure for knowledge production that is foundationally shaped by its biomedical origins. The article connects historical and sociological studies of institutional ethical review with IR theory on diffusion and localization to analyze novel data on national-level requirements for ethical review. It makes three contributions. First, it presents evidence on the status and trajectory of ethical review, for the first time taking a global approach that pays equal heed to the biomedical and social sciences. Second, it shows how drawing institutional structure, norms, and political economy into conversation can explain why the same system produces significantly different implications for knowledge production and human subjects protection in these two areas. And third, it frames ethical review as a structure that regulates knowledge production, setting clear stakes for scholars of politics and IR.

Population Research Planning Grants (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, we will consider funding many more small and large types of activities that will lead to research products (publications, grants, data access sites and data documentation, code repositories, etc.).

• 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 Earthlab, Population Health Initiative, Royalty Research FUnd, or Urban@UW

All projects inquiring about matching funds, must have a CSDE affiliate who is a UW faculty and will be listed as a PI or co-PI.

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. For more information visit CSDE’s matching funds page.

Each quarter, CSDE offers 3-5 workshops on data sources, statistical and biomarker methodology, introductions to analysis programs, and more, all given by CSDE staff and faculty affiliates. These workshops can include hands-on training in novel methods and programming, lectures on innovative data sources, and discussions of important issues in research and data collection. Over the course of the academic year, CSDE will offer a diverse and exciting set of workshops, some of which will be offered in person and others remotely via Zoom. Students, faculty, and staff are all welcome to register for our workshops and we welcome registrants from outside the University of Washington for our remote workshops as well.

You can find our workshop website and register for our Spring 2023 workshops in the links below.

Please reach out to CSDE’s Training Director, Jessica Godwin (jlg0003@uw.edu), if you have additional workshops you would like to see offered in the future and we will do our best to accommodate those requests.
