PRI’s overarching aim is to advance the scientific understanding of human population dynamics and processes, especially as they relate to PRI’s primary research areas:
SSRI offers several types of funding for researchers working in the social sciences. We have different levels of funding, as well as funding that is specific to different institutes, types of research, and services offered.
PRI invites applications for seed grant funding that are interdisciplinary, innovative, likely to have special scientific impact, and related to our signature themes.
