*New* RSF Call for Proposals from Early-Career Scholars – Causal Research on Criminal Justice System (Due 4/3/25)

Posted: 12/26/2024 (Funding)

The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) and Arnold Ventures recently announced a collaborative call for causal research on the criminal justice system. Criminal justice policies and practices include the work of the police, courts, jails, prisons, probation and parole, and immigration detention. Proposals must include causal research designs that can reliably isolate the treatment effects of a policy, practice, or intervention such as difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, and randomized controlled trials.

To be eligible, applicants must be tenure-track assistant professors at a college or university in the U.S. at the start of the grant period. The maximum grant is $100,000. RSF staff will discuss the Causal Research on Criminal Justice System Grants competition application process at a webinar on March 4, 2025, at 2PM ET. Register for the webinar here.
