The Accountable Institutions and Behavior Program in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences expects to make one or two awards for the 2024 American National Election Study (ANES), with the award to run from fiscal years 2022 to 2025. We anticipate that the ANES funding will total no more than $14 million over four years, whether it is one or two awards. The expected starting date is July 2022.

Should two independent awards be made, the two awardees will be required to work closely together. Innovative proposals incorporating recent advances in survey research, the use of administrative data, sampling methods, and/or new concepts in the study of elections are encouraged.
