The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) received a $192,213 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a 3-year research project titled "BALANCING TRUST AND ACCOUNTABILITY: CHARITIES, GOVERNMENT, AND SOCIETY". The project aims to study cross-sector opinions on trust and accountability, with a focus on understanding regulatory approaches, interpersonal trust, and public sentiment toward public-serving institutions. The research team will conduct document reviews, focus groups, and a Delphi study to gather data from operating charities, foundations, government agencies, and the public. The findings will provide guidance for regulators, charity workers, and donors on the role of regulation and democratic participation in the nonprofit sector. The project does not involve any federal grant sub-awards.
