Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Accelerating Behavioral and Social Science through Ontology Development and Use (Due 9/30/23)
The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), with other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to accelerate behavioral and social science through ontology development and use. Applications will be encouraged to develop new or expand existing ontologies for behavioral or social science research (BSSR). Applicants will be expected to form multi-disciplinary teams including subject matter experts in one or more BSSR fields, as well as experts in semantic knowledge structures. Proposals will be expected to focus on health-relevant terminology related to constructs, measures, and/or interventions. Funded projects and investigator teams will participate in a collaborative research network.
Please share your accomplishments with CSDE!
CSDE would love to celebrate your accomplishments. If you have a new grant, award, paper, book, editorial, or media coverage, please email csde@uw.edu. We can feature your achievements in our weekly newsletter, and share select items with the Center for Public Information on Population Research to broadcast to a larger audience. This publicity broadens awareness of your work and can facilitate collaborations and other synergies.

Computational Demography Work Group (CDWG) Meeting (3/29/23)
The Computational Demography Working Group will host their first meeting of the quarter on March 29th, 2023. The plan for the meeting will be to do introductions, catch up and discuss the quarter as well as recruit for the Response Driven Sampling (RDS) Point in Time (PIT) Count for 2023. This point in time estimate is used to estimate the total population of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness in King County in collaboration with the King County Regional Homelessness Authority. CSDE training core PI Zack Almquist will be leading this discussion and recruitment. For more information find the main RDS PIT page here.
Welcome to Spring 2023!
