Description: Behavioral Interventions Scholars award support dissertation research by advanced graduate students who are using approaches grounded in behavioral science to examine specific research questions of relevance to social services programs and policies. Behavioral science seeks to understand how individuals make decisions and what drives their behavior, drawing on the fields of behavioral, social, and cognitive psychology; economics; and other social sciences. These awards are meant to build the body of research that applies a behavioral science lens to social services for families with low incomes in the United States, and to support faculty mentorship of high-quality doctoral students. Applicants will be required to demonstrate how their research is grounded in behavioral science and the applicability of their research to practice or policy serving children, adults, and families with low incomes, especially those that seek to improve their well-being.
