Attention all researchers! Arnold Ventures has relaunched 2 requests for proposals (RFPs) designed to strengthen the evidence base for social policy.

The Strengthening Evidence RFP funds randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating social programs and policies, and the Building Evidence RFP supports quasi-experimental studies in key policy areas — Career Pathways, Higher Education, Infrastructure, Medicaid, Public Finance, and Contraceptive Choice & Access — where RCTs may not be feasible. 

Letters of interest are due March 6, 2026. Additional details and application instructions can be found on our website. We will also be hosting 2 webinars on January 29 and February 4 to share more information about the RFPs.
