Slides<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50... and a video from a recent webinar<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad5... on these requests for proposals (RFPs) are now available. Applicants may submit three-page letters of interest (LOIs) through our portal<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50...;. Note: LOIs are due June 1, 2024, for the QED RFP, but will be accepted at any time for the RCT RFP. The Criminal Justice team has released a RFP titled “Causal Research on Community Safety and the Criminal Justice System<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad50... The RFP seeks research proposals across all issues related to the criminal justice system and will remain open. View our RFPs here<https://arnoldventures.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9ad5084... Building Evidence: Support for Causal Studies to Evaluate Social Programs and Policies https://d8c215k7er2js.cloudfront.net/uploads/PDFs/AVEE_BuildingEvidenceRF... <direct link> This funding targets research on the causal effects of policies, programs, or interventions in key Arnold Ventures policy areas. Researchers are encouraged to use quasi-experimental methods, such as natural experiments, regression discontinuity, difference-in-differences, and instrumental variable designs. Key Policy Areas * Higher Education: Focus on improving student success and addressing equity gaps. Projects should build evidence on effective practices for student learning, persistence, degree completion, job placement, earnings, and debt reduction. * Infrastructure: Support research and policy development to enhance U.S. infrastructure building, including housing, transportation, climate, and clean energy. Projects should address challenges like supply-side bottlenecks, permitting processes, and state capacity improvement. * Contraceptive Choice and Access: Evaluate policies affecting contraceptive access and affordability. Projects should identify barriers to care and focus on contraceptive coverage standards, payment reform, healthcare staffing, delivery channel expansion, and Medicaid. * Public Finance: Advance tax and budget policies that promote fiscal stability and economic opportunity. Projects should explore place-based policies and assess how tax and benefit policies improve lives. Selection Criteria Research should be relevant, rigorous, and capable of informing policy decisions to improve the lives of American communities. Proposals should address policy relevance, study design, and implementation feasibility. Strengthening Evidence: Support for RCTs to Evaluate Social Programs and Policies https://d8c215k7er2js.cloudfront.net/uploads/PDFs/AVEE_StrengtheningEvide... <direct link> The Evidence and Evaluation team is dedicated to identifying, evaluating, and scaling solutions for critical social issues. This funding targets rigorous randomized controlled trials (RCTs), considered one of the strongest methods for evaluating social programs. RCTs compare outcomes between a treatment group and a control group, providing clear evidence on a program’s effectiveness. This solid evidence is crucial for decision-makers and stakeholders to support effective policies and programs. Key Focus Areas Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): Funded studies should utilize RCTs to evaluate the impact of social policies and programs. RCTs are ideal for determining the true efficacy of interventions by ensuring fair comparisons between groups. Selection Criteria Research should be relevant, rigorous, and capable of informing policy decisions to improve the lives of American communities. Proposals should address policy relevance, study design, and implementation feasibility. The team seeks studies that can ultimately inform decisions and improve outcomes for kids and families. Interested researchers should submit a letter of interest (LOI) addressing these criteria. Causal Research on Community Safety and the Criminal Justice System (This is included because several COEDH faculty work in the intersection of education and criminal justice.) https://d8c215k7er2js.cloudfront.net/uploads/Causal-Research-on-Community... <direct link> The Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI) invites letters of interest for causal research projects on policies, practices, and interventions related to community safety and the criminal justice system. This RFP aims to build credible evidence on effective measures to improve crime and justice outcomes, with a focus on real-world behaviors such as crime rates and criminal justice involvement. Eligibility Criteria: * Strong Causal Research Design: Proposals must use reliable methods to isolate the treatment effect of a policy, practice, or intervention. Accepted designs include difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variable, and randomization. * U.S.-Based Interventions: The tested policy, practice, or intervention must be implemented in the United States. * Real-World Outcome Measures: Outcomes should include measures of real-world behaviors, not controlled lab settings or perceptions. Prioritization Criteria: * Policy Adoption Potential: Focus on interventions with clear paths to federal or state policy adoption or implementation. * Use of Administrative Data: Prefer projects measuring outcomes using existing administrative data. * New and Early-Career Researchers: Preference for researchers new to Arnold Ventures funding or early-career researchers (PhD within the last six years). Budget and Project Scope: * Typical Budget and Duration: Projects generally have a 3-4 year period of performance with a median budget of $500,000. * Flexible Funding: Budgets depend on data acquisition complexity, number of study sites, and study timeline. Application Process: Interested researchers should submit a three-page letter of interest addressing the eligibility and prioritization criteria. Favorably reviewed letters will receive an invitation to submit a full proposal.

Climate Smart Humanities Organizations supports these efforts by offering federal matching funds for comprehensive organizational assessments that lead to strategic climate action and adaptation plans. Through the Climate Smart program, your humanities organization can undertake activities such as energy audits, risk assessments, and meetings with consultants. The resulting climate smart plan helps you establish goals and prioritize actions that reduce your organization’s impacts on the environment through mitigation and vulnerability from extreme events through adaptation. Together, mitigation and adaptation can inform a robust road map that addresses climate challenges, protects assets, and facilitates collaboration between internal and external stakeholders. Strategic planning for climate change is an essential part of sustaining humanities organizations’ operations and activities—becoming climate smart. Individual organizations can apply for themselves or lead a consortium of organizations collaborating on strategic climate smart planning. Awards in this program are made with federal matching funds and require fundraising of third-party, non-federal gifts at a ratio of one to one. Grant Snapshot Maximum award amount $300,000 Matching required: Yes, 1:1 non-federal, third-party gifts must be raised by March 31, 2025 Funding Opportunity for Organizations Expected output Climate action and adaptation planning document Period of performance Up to 24 months Application available (anticipated) June 12, 2024 Next deadline (anticipated) September 12, 2024 Contact the Office of Challenge Programs Team (202) 606-8309 challenge@neh.gov<mailto:challenge@neh.gov> NEH Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities https://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/institutes-advanced-topics-in-the-digital-... Updated guidelines will be posted in advance of the next deadline. In the meantime, please use these guidelines to get a sense of what is involved in assembling an application. The Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities (IATDH) program supports national or regional (multistate) training programs for scholars, humanities professionals, and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities. Through this program, NEH seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars and practitioners using digital technology in their research and to broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities. This program aims to bring together humanities scholars, advanced graduate students, librarians, archivists, museum staff, computer scientists, information specialists, and others to learn about new tools, approaches, and technologies, and to foster relationships for future collaborations in the humanities. NEH encourages you to develop proposals for multidisciplinary teams that include the necessary range of intellectual, technical, and practical expertise. You may draw partners and collaborators from the private and public sectors and may include appropriate specialists from within and outside the United States. You should consider not only the practical applications of the institute topic, but also address ethical implications of its subject for humanities research, teaching, or public programming. There is wide latitude in the form and content of institutes. They may focus on a particular computational method, such as network or spatial analysis, or target the needs of a particular humanities discipline or audience. You could offer it only once or multiple times to different audiences or cohorts. They may be as short as a few days or as long as six weeks. You may host it at a single site, multiples sites, or virtually, but the format and duration should allow for full and thorough treatment of the topic and be appropriate for the intended audience and all participants must be engaged in the same format simultaneously unless modifications are needed for accessibility accommodations. Note about Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence This grant program is one of ten NEH programs that are part of NEH’s Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence initiative, which is encouraging research on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of AI.
