This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research to develop a new methodology for distinguishing between research findings that can be generalized across different populations, places, and time, versus those that are context-specific. The $174,874 award, running from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027, will advance statistical meta-analysis techniques to identify predictable, generalizable...

This National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $231,797 to CAL Poly Corporation, a non-profit auxiliary organization of California Polytechnic State University, to develop a statistical framework for analyzing the distributional impacts of interventions. The research aims to bridge the gap between the interests of decision-makers in understanding the distributional effects of practices and the limitations of existing analyses that fail to adequately consider these issues. The proposed work consists of three components: (1) developing a methodology to determine an evaluator's social preferences based on acceptable tradeoffs between individual well-being, (2) incorporating this social welfare information into a statistical estimation framework using an egalitarian equivalent representation, and (3) applying this framework to analyze optimal treatment rules in randomized controlled trials. The grant period runs from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026.
