Description
This Notice of Funding Opportunity has been modified to change the application submission due date from 5/31/22 to 6/30/22. The opportunity has also been modified to replace the requirement for a DUNS number with a System for Award Management Unique Entity Identifier. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) anticipates soliciting applications for Behavioral Interventions Scholars grants to support dissertation research by advanced graduate students who are using approaches grounded in behavioral science or behavioral economics to examine specific research questions of relevance to social services programs and policies. These grants are meant to build capacity in the research field to apply a behavioral science or behavioral economics lens to issues facing poor and vulnerable families in the United States, and to foster mentoring relationships between faculty members and high-quality doctoral students. Applicants will be required to demonstrate how their research is grounded in behavioral economics/behavioral science and the applicability of their research to practice or policy serving low-income children, adults, and families, especially those that seek to improve their well-being. Specific topics of interest may be delineated in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity. For information about OPRE, please go to https://www.acf.hhs.gov/opre.
