Description

The Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy at Columbia University is accepting applications for Seed Grant projects. The main goal of this project is to offer social science researchers the chance to undertake major research programs that may require initial results or proof of concept to attract external funding. The Seed Grant program places a priority on high-risk, high-return research, including work that develops new theories, identifies new areas of methodological innovation, or that bridges different substantive domains.
