The Boston Area Research Initiative is inviting applications for research seed grants for projects occurring during the 2023 – 2024 academic year.
Donor Name: Northeastern University
State: Massachusetts
City: Boston
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/24/2023
Size of the Grant: up to $5,000
Details:
The program supports two types of projects:
- Pioneering work that translates a novel digital data set available from a public or private source into a research-ready form that can provide insights on human behavior and society.
- Projects that seek to develop, implement, or evaluate new programs that incorporate research insights into policy or practice.
Special consideration will be given to projects that examine or address questions with regional significance to greater Boston, beyond any one municipal border, such as inequality and social mobility, though they accept applications on all themes relevant to cities and communities.
Applicants will be required to demonstrate a commitment by their home institution to provide support for their project, in any appropriate form: faculty time, promotion, convening, matching funds, etc. Applicants will be required to submit a letter from a sponsor at their home institution detailing this support.
Funding Information
Applicants may request up to $5,000, which can be used for any project-related expenses, including materials, software, participant recruitment, or student stipend.
Eligibility Criteria
The grants will support graduate students conducting original data-oriented research on the Boston area at the intersection of scholarship and policy. Applications can be submitted by students at any local university.
