Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) Behavioral Economics Roundtable is inviting young investigators to submit small grant applications to conduct high quality research in behavioral economics. The major purpose of the grant award is to support projects that examine how cognitive biases, mental rules of thumb, interpersonal relationships and social networks and norms can cause real-life economic decisions to deviate from the standards of rational, self-interested maximization.
Maximum grant size is $7,500 which can include acquisition of data, the purchase of data sets, research assistance (but not including payment to any researchers who will be co-authors on the project), payment to subjects in experiments, miscellaneous expenses (such as photocopy, telephone, postage).
Eligibility Criteria –
- Applicants must be advanced doctoral students or junior (non-tenured) faculty members who have been out of graduate school for two or fewer years. All nationalities are eligible to apply.
- There are no limitations on the disciplinary background of the principal investigator and interdisciplinary efforts are accepted.
- Experimental projects which do not have substantial behavioral content (such as market experiments testing neoclassical ideas) or substantial economic content (such as psychology experiments with no economic choices or strategic or market implications) are not eligible.
- Members of the Behavioral Economics Roundtable and the Behavioral Economics and Consumer Finance Working Group are not eligible for grants directly. Their students and/or collaborators may receive grants, and members can be co-authors of papers produced under grants.
Complete proposal includes – proposal, budget, curriculum vitae of the applicant, fiscal agent letter, letter of recommendation, and official transcripts (only doctoral students). Proposal must be submitted via online application portal.
