Since 2004, the Minnesota Population Center has offered a small seed grant program to stimulate fundable population research. The small-scale grants are designed to give investigators the time or other resources they need to develop and submit research proposals to external funding agencies. In the past five years, MPC has awarded seed grants to more than 25 faculty, research scientists, and post-doctoral associates.
