Funding Agency InfoNIHClick here for NIH grant listings and other NIH resources Our core research and training support comes from NIH. And specifically, from the Demographic and Behavioral Science Branch (DBSB) of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (EKSnichd) at NIH. DBSB supports a wide range of population research around the world, through a combination of center and training grants (we have both), individual research grants, and pre- and post-doctoral training awards. The branch staff are a small dedicated group of demographers who serve as "program officers" for DBSB awards. Rebecca Clark is the program officer for our R24 Center grant, and Lynne Casper is the program officer for our T32 Training grant. Chris Bachrach is the branch chief. All of the DBSB staff are supportive and very helpful - you should view them as a resource at NIH. They are your best source of information for grant writing and they look to us in turn for new ideas and directions for targeting funding.

NIH has wide range of grant mechanisms, from postdocs and small pilot grants, to large scale individual research and cooperative projects, to institutional support grants. These mechanisms are described here:
Hewlett FoundationThe William and Flora Hewlett Foundation makes grants to address the most serious social and environmental problems facing society, where risk capital, responsibly invested, may make a difference over time. The Foundation places a high value on sustaining and improving institutions that make positive contributions to society. NSFThe National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent agency of the U.S. Government, established by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense.
