Call for Funding Proposals
The Adversarial Collaboration Project at University of Pennsylvania invites proposals to conduct adversarial collaborations on long-standing, impactful scholarly debates in behavioral science. We anticipate supporting six to ten teams, with research budgets between $5,000 and $20,000.
Requirements:
- Applicants must be a pair or small team of scholars with competing hypotheses. We also encourage the inclusion of neutral third party moderators, but can help to set that up if needed.
- The funds must be used to support data collection for an adversarial collaboration.
- Adversaries must preregister their competing predictions.
Priority will be given to projects that have applied or practical significance. The journals, Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science and Journal of Experimental Social Psychology have put out calls for adversarial collaborations. We encourage submissions to these journals, but journal selection is up to the research team.
To apply, email adcollabproject@sas.upenn.edu, including the CVs of applicants and a ~one-page letter describing:
- The scholarly debate under question and the different adversarial sides of the debate
- The proposed study (or studies)
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting June 4th.
Award Announcement
The Adversarial Collaboration Project at University of Pennsylvania invites applications for the Brian Labatte Open-minded Early Career Researchers Award.
This award provides up to $5000 to support data collection for a pair or small team of early career researchers in behavioral science (broadly defined) to conduct an adversarial collaboration research project.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be a pair or small team of early career researchers (graduate students or postdoctoral scholars, although exceptional undergraduates will be considered also).
- The data collection must support an adversarial collaboration among the research pair or team. Read more about adversarial collaborations here. Adversaries must be willing to preregister their opposing predictions prior to data collection.
- Priority will be given to projects that have applied or practical significance.
To apply, email adcollabproject@sas.upenn.edu, including the CVs of applicants and a ~one-page letter describing:
- The scholarly debate under question and the different adversarial sides of the debate
- The proposed study (or studies)
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting June 4th.
