To meet the challenge of bolstering the decentralized U.S. election system, the Scholars Strategy Network is excited to announce the launch of a competitive subgrant program that will allow our federated network to take on a variety of locally-responsive activities.
In the coming months, a limited number of SSN Building Trust in Elections Grants will be awarded to chapters or groups of members willing to organize local groups of academics to improve, increase participation in, and build trust in elections. Participating researchers will familiarize themselves with current and changing rules for running elections, build collaborative relationships with election administrators and university and community-based groups working on these issues, and help advocate for improvements to and greater trust in election systems.
Application Deadline: April 15, 2022
