All IU Bloomington faculty, and graduate students (with faculty sponsor) are eligible for funding to support use of the KRDC or future Indiana FSRDC. Researchers with multiple FSRDC projects are encouraged to submit an application for each project.

Funding recipients must submit a brief 1-2 page report of the outcomes of the grant within 3 months of the end of the project period. Reports should address grant and fellowship proposals submitted or awards received as a result of the funded research, publications/presentations, and/or how the project advanced the recipient’s research agenda.

Submit the following materials to ssrc@iu.edu:

• A copy of the project's proposal (to the Census, CDC, or other entity) or a project narrative describing the project’s goals and its advancement of empirical knowledge, theories, or methods (maximum 2 pages).
• A budget and short (1 paragraph) budget justification
• A list of personnel involved with the project, their statuses at IU (faculty, graduate student, staff, etc.), and their home schools and/or departments.
• Documentation of project approval from the appropriate entity (e.g. the U.S. Bureau of the Census).*

*Please note that researchers may submit requests for funding prior to receiving project approval from the appropriate federal entity, but will be required to provide documentation of project approval before funds will be disbursed.
