This program supports research projects that advance basic scientific understanding of integrated socio-environmental systems and the complex interactions (dynamics, processes, and feedbacks) within and among the environmental (biological, physical and chemical) and human (“socio”) (economic, social, political, or behavioral) components of such a system.
Broadens participation in the social, behavioral and economic sciences through support for research, training and research infrastructure at minority-serving institutions, including partnerships with and among those institutions.
The goal of this NOFO is to encourage research to understand the impact of ableism on health outcomes. Research on the underlying mechanisms by which ableism adversely influences the health of persons with disabilities, as well as developing and/or testing interventions at a community or health systems level to mitigate adverse health effects of ableism are high priority.
Applications open in early December 2023. Letters of intent are due in late January 2024. Full proposal deadline is in late February 2024.
The Large Research Grants on Education Program supports education research projects that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived, with budgets ranging from $125,000 to $500,000 for projects ranging from one to five years. This program is “field-initiated” in that proposal submissions are not in response to a specific request for a particular research topic, discipline, design, method, or location. Our goal for this program is to support rigorous, intellectually ambitious, and technically sound research that is relevant to the most pressing questions and compelling opportunities in education.
Research Support
Conference Poster Funding for Students
The Center for Social Science Scholarship provides funding for poster printing for students presenting their research at off-campus conferences.

Preference will be given to students who have not recently received (within the past 6 semesters) funding from CS3. Please visit our website for specific details and requirements.
