About the Program
The mission of TRIADS is to produce impactful research using the quantitative tools of the digital age to understand important societal problems.
The TRIADS Seed Grant Program aims to create and support focused transdisciplinary teams pursuing important research in this domain. These funds will bring together researchers across Arts & Sciences and beyond to quickly advance existing research teams, develop projects in new transdisciplinary fields of inquiry, and build communities of potential collaborators around shared questions, methods, and data.
The TRIADS seed grant program will fund awards up to $100,000 in direct costs for a one-year period. Priority will be given to new projects with high scientific merit that are not currently funded by other sources and that have high potential for eventually securing external grant funding. Smaller proposals for exploratory research, thematic conferences, workshops, and related activities are also encouraged, but will be prioritized using the same criteria.
Successful proposals will also be given priority access to other TRIADS resources including our data science engineering team, a grants development specialist, and collaborative space.
