As the National Research Center on Poverty and Economic Mobility, IRP conducts an Extramural Research Funding Program to support research that informs refugee resettlement programs. Key areas of interest are identified by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Proposals are invited from Principal Investigators who hold a doctorate or the highest degree appropriate for their discipline at the time of application. Individuals not associated with a university (domestic or foreign) and foreign entities are ineligible for grants made under this announcement. University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty and postdoctoral fellows are ineligible for funding.
Awards are made up to $50,000 each for research projects that can be conducted within 24 months or less.
Calls for proposals are released in late November or early December. The selection process has two stages. Letters of interest are due in early January and full proposals in mid-March. See call for specific dates.
