Description
The Cornell Center for Social Sciences (CCSS) and Cornell Population Center (CPC) jointly lead this grant development program for Cornell social and population scientists. Its yearlong model combines panel discussions, training workshops, grant writing incubators, and individualized expert feedback to help researchers develop competitive proposals for NIH, NSF, and major foundations.
The program aims to increase high-quality external grant submissions, strengthen institutional support for social and population research, and build cross-campus collaborations using Cornell expertise. It prioritizes support for junior faculty and emerging scholars. Summer and fall incubators provide structured, cohort-based proposal development, while external expert reviews, professional editing, and mock review panels help researchers refine proposals approaching submission.
