The SNF Ithaca Initiative at the University of Delaware’s Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration is accepting proposals for SNF Ithaca Research Scholars. Scholars conduct research at the intersection of public policy and/or public administration with one or more of the SNF Ithaca pillars: civil discourse, civic engagement, and/or the role of media in democracy. The research undertaken can encompass innovative, empirical, or emerging scholarship in these areas.
Examples of topics include:
- Civil discourse and regulation of media
- Voting rules and civic engagement
- Racially polarized voting
- The impact of civic education on youth voter turnout
- Regulation of social media
- Public institutions and partisanship
- Deliberative democracy and citizen participation
Scholars are expected to produce a 15–20-page white paper and will have the opportunity to present the research at the Biden School.
SNF Ithaca Research Scholars receive a $5,000 award.
