The Center for Social Science Innovation (CSSI) seeks researchers from across disciplines to take part in the first-of-its-kind Research Convergence Residency Program (RCRP) at the University of Iowa. 

This year’s RCRP cultivates interdisciplinary research on a critical topic for Iowans and the nation: the factors in the social environment that affect individual and population health. The program brings together faculty and research staff from various disciplines and provides research support funds to further their work. 

Applications are due Monday, Oct. 13th through CSSI’s website. Applying teams must consist of a minimum of three team members and more than one UI academic department must be represented.
