Behavioral Interventions Scholars

2017 - 2025

The Behavioral Interventions Scholars (BIS) grant program supported dissertation research by advanced graduate students who applied a behavioral science or behavioral economic lens to research questions relevant to social services programs and policies that serve populations with low incomes in the United States. As part of OPRE’s Behavioral Interventions to Advance Self-Sufficiency Research Portfolio, these grants were intended to facilitate the completion of high-quality research projects that added to the growing body of knowledge on effective behavioral interventions for ACF programs and populations. BIS also aimed to build capacity in the research field to use behavioral science approaches in this area and to foster mentoring relationships between high-quality doctoral students and faculty members.
