This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $551,706 provides funding from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). North Carolina State University will conduct three related studies to develop and test evidence-based communication strategies for improving public perception of museum biological collections and research. A content analysis of prominent natural history museums' social media posts will examine how research benefiting society is communicated. Two surveys will assess the effectiveness and impact of scientist communicators versus third parties presenting research summaries, and whether repeated exposure increases support for collection infrastructure funding. Arizona State University will provide expertise in social science methods, overseeing the content analysis and survey design. The award aims to help safeguard museum collections and scientific discoveries through expanding their online reach and understanding effective communication practices.
