The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. This 3-year research project, running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will develop new statistical estimation methods for causal inference in complex randomized experiments. The research aims to expand the applicability of randomized experiments by creating techniques to handle settings with participant interactions and spillover effects, which currently lack robust estimation approaches. The project will establish a general theoretical framework leveraging functional analysis concepts, producing estimators, inference methods, and open-source software to enable scientists and researchers to investigate more intricate questions across the social and medical sciences. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
