The Criminal Justice Research Center has for many years offered an annual seed funding program intended to assist PSU faculty (including Commonwealth Campuses) to pursue external funding by (1) buying out an investigator’s time, (2) supporting project-specific research meetings or workshops, (3) providing research personnel support (CJRC, Graduate, and Undergraduate wages and salaries), (4) collecting pilot data, and (5) other research-related activities in the areas of criminal justice and criminology. We strongly encourage interdisciplinary research and collaboration between units within Penn State.

We encourage you to apply for this, which is open to faculty across the university. Please contact the CJRC Managing Director Gary Zajac at gxz3@psu.edu with any questions.
We look forward to reading your proposals.
