Weinvestigate tidally triggered star formation in isolated close galaxypairs drawn from the Prism Multi-Object Survey (PRIMUS), alow-dispersion prism redshift survey that has measured ~120,000 robustgalaxy redshifts over 9.1 deg&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; out to z ~ 1. We select asample of galaxies in isolated galaxy pairs at redshifts 0.25 &amp;lt;= z&amp;lt;= 0.75, with no other objects within a projected separation of 300 h&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; kpc and Δz/(1 + z) = 0.01, and compare them to acontrol sample of isolated galaxies to test for systematic differencesin their rest-frame FUV - r and NUV - r colors as a proxy for relativespecific star formation rates (SSFRs). We find that galaxies inr&lt;sub&gt;p&lt;/sub&gt; &amp;lt;= 50 h &lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; kpc pairs have bluerdust-corrected UV - r colors on average than the control galaxies by-0.134 ± 0.045 mag in FUV - r and -0.075 ± 0.038 mag in&lt;/p&gt;
