CISSR Support
CISSR provides up to $25,000 for faculty research projects at any stage of development. Funds may be used for a wide range of research-related activities, including field and archival research, purchasing data, research assistance, hosting a visiting collaborator on a short-term basis, or organizing a conference for publishing a special issue or edited volume.
CISSR provides faculty fellows with administrative and outreach support. Outreach support includes the production of multimedia content that can be used to promote sponsored projects through various platforms.
CISSR support cannot be used for course releases, academic leave, or summer salary.
Eligibility
University of Chicago faculty in any discipline or unit are welcome to apply. Priority will be given to projects led by faculty in the Division of the Social Sciences.
