- This $349,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will advance the methodology and practical implementation of adaptive experiments. The 3-year project, which begins on September 1, 2024, will develop new statistical methods for sample size calculations and optimal treatment assignment in adaptive settings, establish a comprehensive framework to guide applied researchers in designing adaptive...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $131,858 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Sponsored Projects Administration Division (Columbia University), under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant funds research to develop statistical approaches that improve the external validity of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the social sciences. Specifically, the research will make two key methodological...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Rutgers, The State University located in Piscataway, New Jersey. The 3-year grant, effective August 1, 2023, will support research to expand randomization-based causal inference methodology for complex blocked and multisite randomized control trials commonly used in the social and behavioral sciences. The project aims to develop novel techniques...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $403,882 to Rutgers, The State University to develop improved methods for designing and analyzing audit experiments. Audit experiments are commonly used to test for discriminatory behavior but can be confounded by multiple interventions. This award will support research to disentangle causal effects by incorporating potential confounders as additional...
- This Project Grant award of $194,675 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to develop new econometric and statistical methods that allow researchers to draw valid conclusions from complex data in a variety of social, behavioral, and medical science settings. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a generally applicable reparameterization procedure for informative...
- This $350,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support the development of new theory and methods for assessing the sensitivity of causal inferences to violations of underlying assumptions in quasi-experimental research designs. The research project aims to create a comprehensive suite of sensitivity analysis tools for popular causal inference techniques such as instrumental variables,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and evaluate innovative training approaches to enhance ethical decision-making skills among early-career researchers in the social sciences. The $150,000 project, awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington, will create text and video-based ethical dilemmas relevant to social science research and incorporate real-time expert feedback to improve the ethical reasoning...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science Project Grant award of $234,489 supports collaborative research at New York University (NYU) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The primary objectives are to: Conduct a series of experiments to understand how people form subjective causal models based on observed data patterns, and how these models may be influenced by preconceptions triggered by natural contexts. This will provide insights into how economic...
- This $285,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research to develop new statistical methods to guide economic and public policy decisions in rapidly changing environments. The research aims to build on recent advances in statistical decision theory, causal inference, and machine learning to create econometric models that can effectively inform evidence-based policymaking while...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $350,000 is funding a research project at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of networks in influencing the outcomes of interventions across various domains, such as education, marketing, and tax decisions. The project will focus on developing new randomized experimental methods and open-source software to enable robust inference of network effects and quantify...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research on the ethical implications of using randomization in social science experiments. The $399,724 award to New York University (NYU) has a period of performance from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The project aims to develop formal mathematical models to analyze the welfare consequences of random versus non-random methods for assigning research participants to treatment conditions. It will also measure the anticipated benefits and harms of social science or policy interventions by adapting and field-testing methods to reveal prospective participants' expectations. Finally, the project will create new pedagogical materials that incorporate ethics formally into experimental research design. This work aims to offer greater protections to individuals and communities that participate in social science research experiments.
