Through this five-year award ending June 2028, UCSD will conduct four research projects examining how culture interacts with development policies and affects outcomes. The university will study improving accountability of local leaders, impacts of traditional property rights on land titling efforts, effects of matrilineal kinship systems on cooperation and insurance, and digitize ethnographic data from developing countries. UCSD will employ randomized controlled trials, lab experiments, surveys and data collection.

Results will provide insight on how culture influences development policy efficacy and how incorporating local context can strengthen initiatives. Findings aim to enhance development outcomes and foreign aid effectiveness. The grant supports the NSF's mission to advance basic research and education in social sciences, monitor science investments, and further national science and welfare.
