Do you have an idea of how to accelerate scientific progress on socially important problems? If so — and if seed funding for a research project would help — please apply to a new re-granting program Paul Niehaus, Caleb Watney, and I are co-leading.


Can we improve how we identify and develop mathematical talent among youth? With generous support from The Agency Fund, we’re excited to launch a new one-year dissertation fellowship for up to four PhD students in economics or economics-adjacent fields on this topic.


Is going to conference presentations worth it?🤔 Yes! It increases citing of 1. Papers you are interested in by 52% (direct effect) 2. Other papers in same session by 51% (serendipity effect) v2 of paper with Soya Park Neil Thompson David Karger (hci.social/@karger): arxiv.org/abs/2209.01175 (1/4)


Registration is now open for the 4th annual Conference on Field Experiments in Strategy (CFXS) this year at Harvard Business School on August 2nd and 3rd: docs.google.com/document/d/1cp…

I’m excited to announce the launch of “Sabbaticals in Service” — a new Metascience Working Group pilot program fostering the exchange of ideas between academic researchers and federal agencies


🚨🚨 🚨Randomisation Klaxon! 🚨🚨🚨 I'm delighted to announce that Economic and Social Research Council & UK Research and Innovation are today launching a £15m funding call for testing policy interventions using "robust counterfactual evaluation methods" - including RCTs, analysis of existing trials data & quasi-experiments

Però... Com hauria de ser aquest laboratori de polítiques públiques❓ Quins passos cal fer per garantir-ne l'èxit❓ Com podríem implementar-lo a escala metropolitana❓ Quines avantatges i inconvenients podem trobar-nos❓ Respon 推特刷粉-脸书刷粉-电报刷粉-INS刷粉-推特粉丝 al blog⤵️bit.ly/LaboratoriPoli…


L’ Anna Segura Lladó i l’ Albert Bravo-Biosca d’Innovation Growth Lab defensen en el seu article en el blog del PEMB que cal: ✅Ser capaços d’identificar, desenvolupar i escalar programes de suport a la innovació ✅Convertir l'#RMB en un gran laboratori d’experimentació d’aquestes polítiques


***METASCIENCE KLAXON*** In June I promised more about what works when it comes to funding research and innovation. So I'm delighted that today Department for Science, Innovation and Technology are announcing a new metascience unit, to be jointly run with UK Research and Innovation, with £10m of initial funding.





Our first Metascience research grant call is now open! In partnership with Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, Economic and Social Research Council is offering £5m of funding for research into more effective ways of conducting and supporting R&D. Individual projects can be up to £300k. More info here: ukri.org/opportunity/uk…

🚨We are pleased to welcome @CDTI_innovacion to the Innovation Growth Lab partnership! We look forward to helping them to become a more experimental organisation and to further embed robust evaluation.💡 📖 Read about the partnership here: innovationgrowthlab.org/new-partnershi…
