PI Applicant must be OSU Faculty
Application Format, Templates and Deadlines
PI Applicant must be OSU Faculty
Applications must comply with IPR application format.
Allowable expenses under IPR seed grants include: limited investigator salary (academic year or summer); GRA stipend and tuition; salary for other research staff (research scientist, post-doctoral fellow); research materials, data acquisition; preliminary analysis (including software development); pilot fieldwork and instrument development; meetings with visitors and shared support for multidisciplinary teams of researchers (including travel expenses); consultation with collaborators and experts outside OSU.
Please note:
- PI must be OSU faculty
- Junior faculty must specify a mentor
- Applicants who received an IPR seed grant during the past four years will be lower priority.
Templates for the two types of applications are combined below:
Both large and small application instructions,
a cover page,
budget,
references and NIH biosketch.
The text should discuss the scientific themes and the additional sections below:
(a) How the proposed project will contribute to the development of IPR as an interdisciplinary population and health research center. It is expected, for example, that project infrastructure will be based in IPR, to the extent appropriate and feasible. You are encouraged to discuss in advance with IPR Director Casterline the resources IPR currently offers to support research projects as well as emerging plans for expanding IPR capabilities (e.g. in data services).
(b) How the proposed project will take advantage of other existing and emerging initiatives and resources at Ohio State.
Applications must be received by Wed, March 3, 2021 by 4:00 p.m.
Submit by email to Jill Morris [morris.856@osu.edu].

NICHD Population Dynamics Branch [PDB] scientific mission:
PDB supports research in demography, reproductive health, and population health:
· In demography, the Branch supports research on the scientific study of human populations, including fertility, mortality and morbidity, migration, population distribution, nuptiality, family demography, population growth and decline, and the causes and consequences of demographic change.
· In reproductive health, the Branch supports behavioral and social science research on sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, family planning, and infertility.
· In population health, the Branch supports data collection and research on human health, productivity, behavior, and development at the population level, using such methods as inferential statistics, natural experiments, policy experiments, statistical modeling, and gene/environment interaction studies.
