Project Grant 2536378
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $200,000 awarded on February 1, 2022 will fund research to gather and analyze survey data on citizen perspectives regarding peace, security, and human rights in a post-conflict environment. Under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the University of Massachusetts will field three public opinion surveys in a post-conflict country using random domain intercept technology to collect anonymous samples. The...
- This $474,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research at Duke University to evaluate the impacts of declining public R&D investment and the pivot away from defense innovation in the U.S. The research aims to (i) examine the effects of federally-funded R&D on the development of complex, science-based "deep tech" innovations, and (ii) assess the impacts of major cuts to...
- This $212,791 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research aimed at understanding the incentives and constraints that influence scientists' willingness to pursue high-risk, high-return research projects. The researchers will develop and analyze mathematical models to examine how scientific norms, publication practices, and other factors impact scientists'...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, funds five research projects to study the geoeconomic mechanisms of international political coercion and great power competition, and how these factors influence global trade, capital, and currency markets. The $250,000 grant, awarded on March 15, 2025, with a final completion date of February 28, 2030, supports theoretical and empirical research at the National...
- 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 $191,980 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research examining the impact of displacement on the development of social preferences and trust in children. The project, conducted by the University of Chicago, will study how displacement caused by conflicts and climate change affects children's and adolescents' social behaviors, trust, cooperation, and adherence to social norms. The research...
- 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...
- This $288,747 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a collaborative research study on the legitimacy and efficacy of transitional justice institutions across three countries. The study aims to assess how the design of transitional justice institutions affects public opinion, which in turn shapes long-term outcomes like regime type and conflict recurrence. Researchers will collect comparable survey...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $360,727 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to support collaborative research on international coercion, debt relief, and land transactions under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The two-year project beginning January 2021 aims to better understand how governments behave during financial crises, including whether they continue repaying loans or default. As part of the research, $XXX in sub-awards will...
- This $595,183 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project that examines the factors influencing the spread and persistence of dynamic social norms. The project investigates attributes like trend longevity, universality, shared cause, and sufficiency that can encourage individuals to adopt emerging social behaviors and beliefs, particularly in the context of addressing societal...
This federal Project Grant award of $514,277 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the micro-foundations of deterrence. The project employs modern social science methods, including quasi-experimental designs, randomized controlled trials, and artificial intelligence data collection and analysis, to investigate how resolve is built, communicated, and interpreted in real-world contexts. The research aims to provide rigorous, causal evidence on the effectiveness of different deterrence strategies, contributing to academic debates and informing decision-makers in the U.S. and allied nations. The award period runs from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2027, and is being carried out by Emory University, a leading research institution. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
