Faculty Funding

To improve faculty success in seeking external funding, ISCE provides seed funding and other financial support to assist in the development of individual faculty members and promote participation on interdisciplinary teams for Virginia Tech reseachers conducting new and ongoing social science research.

ISCE supports faculty research through a number of programs, including its signature ISCE Scholars Program and the ISCE Social Science PREP Program, as well as  through special initiatives, often in collaboration with other Virginia Tech institutes or partners. ISCE supports unsolicited requests from faculty on a rolling basis and provides limited sponsorship for social science-related conferences and events.

The 2023-2024 ISCE handout summarizes ISCE's funding opportunities and support which are also described with related links below. Contact Yancey Crawford with any questions or for more information.
