Are you a researcher looking to improve your causal inference skills? I'm excited to announce that the CJ team at Arnold Ventures is hosting 3 causal inference workshops this fall!
Academic writing thought: That it was hard for YOU to figure something out does not mean you should make it hard for the READER to get it Explain as simply & clearly as you can You do not need to take the reader through your lengthy journey to clarity Work that took months may end up a footnote
Hmm, it works for me…. You can also find it on AV’s grants page: www.arnoldventures.org/grantees
Grants on the order of $100k-200k will be very reasonable in most cases, and we can go higher if the study costs warrant it.
The first step is a 3-page summary of research questions, data, & research design. You can probably write that in your sleep. I promise that in 9 months you'll be glad you have: * summer funding for 2025 * funding to cover your time in AY 2025-26 (for a post-doc or to buy out some of your teaching)
Are you on the academic job market this year with a causal study related to crime/CJ in the US? Please apply for funding from AV and let us support your work!
