The National Science Foundation awarded Cornell University a $471,608 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) on February 15, 2021.

Cornell will use the funding to conduct collaborative research on the relationship between economic downturns, global pandemics, and parliamentary elections. Specifically, researchers will examine how macroeconomic conditions and public health crises impact voter behavior and electoral outcomes in parliamentary democracies. The research is expected to provide insights to help policymakers and other stakeholders better understand political dynamics during times of economic and health adversity.

The grant has a performance period through January 31, 2023, allowing over two years of research to be carried out on this topic. Cornell's Office of Sponsored Programs will oversee project administration and coordination between researchers. Findings will advance knowledge in the social sciences and help inform responses to future crises impacting democratic processes.
