Funding
Digital Scholarship projects often require funding and extra personnel to complete. Here are some starting points for meeting these needs.
Center for Statistics in the Social Sciences Seed Funding
The Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences (CSSS) Seed Grants Program provides funding for promising research at the intersection of statistics and the social sciences. The goal is to stimulate scholarly initiative by encouraging faculty to explore new directions in research and scholarship that contributes at the cutting edge to the development of statistical methods for social scientific problems. CSSS also provides separate grant funding for graduate and undergraduate student projects.
