This $899,815 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the 2024 Cooperative Election Study (CES). The CES is a collaborative research effort involving over 50 university teams across the United States that designs and fields a large, nationally representative survey of at least 50,000 American adults. The survey data collected will measure demographics, opinions, attitudes, and voting behavior in...
Cornell University was awarded a $581,698 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will support research to develop innovative statistical decision theory methods for policy evaluation. Specifically, Cornell researchers will use three projects to create new estimation and inference methods connecting statistical decision theory to economics and...
Cornell University was awarded a $299,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant will fund NEW FRONTIERS...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $225,974 to Cornell University to investigate how technological augmentations can enhance the learning and effectiveness of work teams, community groups, classrooms, and other collectives. The research examines the parameters that drive group-directed learning in areas such as cooperative behavior, collective intelligence, and collective creativity. The...
This $473,500 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support research at Cornell University from April 2022 through March 2025 to develop new discrete choice models that account for unobserved heterogeneity in consumer consideration sets. The researchers will establish conditions for semi-nonparametric identification of these novel models and design a maximum...
Cornell University was awarded a three-year $466,802 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on "OPTIMALITY AND ROBUSTNESS IN PIECEWISE-DETERMINISTIC SYSTEMS" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. Under this award, Cornell University researchers in Ithaca, New York will analyze mathematical techniques for modeling and controlling systems that exhibit both deterministic and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $3.7 million supports research and surveys related to the 2022 midterm elections through the agency's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). Cornell University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with The University of Iowa on data collection and analysis.
Specifically, Cornell will develop an adaptive, data-driven approach to conducting a large-scale survey during the 2022 midterms using items from the American National Election Study as a model. This will allow for assessment of methods to improve survey accuracy, validity and cost-effectiveness. Cornell will also make data publicly available. The University of Iowa sub-award of $XXX,XXX involves collecting survey responses through telephone and web panels, including oversamples in certain states, to contribute to assessing various sampling strategies while providing insights into voter dynamics. Results will inform future survey design industry-wide.
