Seed Grants

Faculty Research Development Award (FRDA) AY 2021-2022

To promote high-quality population science among its affiliates, the CFDR offers a competitive seed grant funding opportunity for faculty with promising research ideas through its Faculty Research Development Award. This award can be used to support projects in the early stages of the research process, including primary data collection or preliminary feasibility analyses. These projects often lead to applications for external funding in the future.

The criteria for selection of projects includes topical alignment with both the CFDR’s mission to promote research on the well-being of children and families and the mission of our funder, the Population Dynamics Branch of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Additional criteria include significance of the research, approach and feasibility of the project, qualifications of the researcher(s), and external funding potential. Priority is given to junior faculty.
