Proposals in Criminal Justice Research

This call is now active. The application deadline is October 17, 2025


Open to Faculty and Postdoctoral Research Fellows in the Social Sciences

The Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy is pleased to issue its call for funding made possible by former Dean of Social Science Prof. Fredrick Harris. The goal of this call is to support cross-disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary workshops, speaker series, or conferences that center on criminal justice research. The initiative is open to faculty and postdocs appointed within one of the six Social Science departments in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Columbia University or SIPA. Proposals will be evaluated on their intellectual merit and coherence and their judicious use of funding.

Below, you will find two separate calls: one for workshops/seminars, and another for conferences. Both are for programming that will take place between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026. The deadline for both is October 17, 2025. 

Please contact ISERP with any questions on this process.
