OIBR now accepting seed grant applications for FY25

  • Submission deadline: Friday, March 15 at 6 p.m.

The Owens Institute for Behavioral Research (OIBR) is seeking applications for faculty seed grant projects in the areas of social and behavioral sciences. All faculty in relevant areas are encouraged to apply—including OIBR distinguished scholars, grant development program participants, or affiliates—however for receipt of funds, an unaffiliated PI must affiliate with OIBR. In line with the mission of OIBR, projects must demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary research, and as outlined in the program announcement, lead to an external grant proposal to be submitted through OIBR.

Please view the OIBR seed grant program announcement (application instructions and details regarding the review process), as well as the OIBR seed grant submission form. Please note all completed applications are due on Friday, March 15 at 6 p.m., and must be submitted electronically as a single combined PDF to Andrea Horsman, outreach and communications manager.

Questions about allowable expenses not referenced on the instructions, or any other facet of the seed grant program, should be directed to Jennifer McDowell, OIBR associate director.
