The federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a research project at Emory University to investigate the impact of post-conflict economic recovery programs on social cohesion. The $147,609 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will support a randomized controlled trial to examine how these programs affect economic opportunities and social dynamics between hosts, returnees, and internally displaced persons in post-conflict communities. The research aims to inform policies and program design, particularly for U.S. foreign aid, to more effectively promote economic recovery and prevent conflict relapse after civil war. Emory University, a leading research institution, will serve as the prime awardee on this project and may engage subrecipients as needed.
