The Accountable Institutions and Behavior Program funds basic scientific research advancing understanding of attitudes, behavior, and institutions connected to public policy and public services. It supports theoretically motivated, conceptually precise, methodologically rigorous, and empirically oriented research on topics such as decision-making, political institutions, electoral processes, public administration, and policy. The program excludes applied research and encourages projects that include undergraduate research experiences and methodological innovations.
Open to any type of entity without restrictions, subject to additional clarifications in eligibility text. No specific applicant restrictions stated.
