AI Research Seed Grant Program (Penn State) is sponsored by Penn State Center for Social Data Analytics (C-SoDA) and the Consortium on Moral Decision-Making (CMDM) in collaboration with the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI). This program invites seed grant proposals to support research in AI in two major areas: Analytic AI and AI and Society.

The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
