Grant Description

Grants of $45,000 to USA, Canada, and International scholars for innovative research on policies related to retirement and disability. Funding is intended to promote the work of non-tenured and junior scholars from all academic fields who are employed at an institution full-time and are within seven years of receiving their doctorate. Historically underserved or underrepresented individuals are encouraged to apply.

Research focal areas include:

  • Disparities by race and ethnicity;
  • Decline in SSDI and SSI applications;
  • Improving communication and outreach;
  • Economic security of SSA beneficiaries;
  • Improving service delivery;
  • Return-to-work; and
  • Informing Trust Fund projections.

Eligible costs include:

  • Personnel: salary and benefits for PI and, if applicable, Co-PI and research assistants.
  • Materials and Supplies: e.g. research materials and computers. Researchers seeking to purchase a computer must provide a detailed justification for its specific use on the project. A computer cannot be taken outside of U.S. jurisdiction and will be considered federal property until the end of 2023.
  • Other: e.g. postage, printing.
  • Indirect Costs: capped at 10% for institutions.
