Description:
The Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy’s Center for Pandemic Research (CPR) announces an opportunity for one-year research Seed Grant Awards. The main goal of this project is to offer social science researchers the chance to undertake major research programs related to best practices for countering vaccine hesitancy and scientific misinformation that may require initial results or proof of concept to attract external funding. This call solicits innovative social science proposals on how to counter vaccine misinformation and enhance trust. The CPR support projects that can start right away, and either inform policy-making and public understanding of pandemic threats or contribute to the resilience and recovery of the Columbia research community.
