Randomized Controlled Trials to Evaluate Social Programs Whose Delivery Will Be Funded by Government or Other Entities

The Laura and John Arnold Foundation�s (LJAF) Evidence-Based Policy team invites grant applications to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of social programs in any area of domestic policy in which: (i) LJAF will fund the RCT, and government or another entity will fund the program�s delivery; and (ii) The RCT meets the additional selection criteria described in the info packet. Our goal in funding such RCTs is to build the body of programs rigorously shown to produce sizable, sustained benefits to participants or society, and to do so in a cost-efficient manner by leveraging program funds contributed by government, philanthropic foundations, or other funders.
