We are pleased to announce that the CSSS Travel Awards Program is now accepting applications for our Spring 2026 grants.
The Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences (CSSS) will award a limited number of grants for graduate students working with CSSS affiliated faculty to assist in presenting research and attending workshops or courses. Under extraordinary circumstances, undergraduate students and postdoctoral researchers may also be supported with an award. The purpose of the awards is to support travel that will advance the long-term goals of CSSS: promoting research in social statistics and quantitative methods in the social sciences, and collaborative research between social scientists and statisticians.
The CSSS Executive Committee will evaluate applications; priority will be given to proposals that demonstrate sophisticated use of statistical methodology and promise to have significant substantive impact. Among high priority proposals, preference is given to students for whom other sources of support are not available, and who have not received CSSS funding in the past. Successful applicants should acknowledge the support of CSSS in the course of any presentations, and may be asked to participate in CSSS poster or presentation sessions subsequent to their travel.
Our travel grant program typically accepts applications twice per year, in the Autumn and Spring quarters. The Autumn applications are to support travel during January to June. The Spring round of applications are to support travel taking place from July to December.
Applications are currently being accepted for Spring quarter. The deadline is April 14th at 5pm. You can find the application form here.
Questions regarding the CSSS Graduate Student Travel Grants should be directed to csss@uw.edu.
