ISERP’s seed grant program is intended to support the initial stages of new research, with a special emphasis on innovative, interdisciplinary, and collaborative work. The program rewards high-risk, high-return research, including work that develops new methods, applies theories or methods to new substantive areas, or translates among previously unrelated theoretical perspectives. Grants are awarded both for basic social science research and for policy related research.
Faculty and research scholars or scientists at Columbia University and its affiliated schools are invited to respond to our semiannual request for proposals
