Project Grant 2049513

The National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science awarded Northwestern University a $219,847 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund research from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2023 on "The Network Structure of Misconduct." As described in the program details, funding supports basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences. The award to Northwestern University will presumably allow researchers there to study how misconduct spreads through social networks, advancing understanding of how resources are invested in science. The parent organization, Northwestern University, will oversee performance of the grant at its Evanston, Illinois location through its Sponsored Research division.
