The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $142,762 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on "Automotive Fatalities: Making and Unmaking a Scandal, 1950-90". The research project will analyze why certain automotive safety technologies and regulations, such as seat belts and speed limits, were contentious and polarizing, while others were more readily adopted. Through historical analysis, the research will focus on drivers' public responses, such as protests, letters, and editorials, to understand the "democratic negotiations" around government-mandated safety changes for individually owned and operated automobiles. The project will examine how perceptions of personal freedom and the public good shaped the adoption of these automotive safety innovations from 1950 to 1990, a period marked by shifting public attention on this critical public health issue.
