This is a National Science Foundation program for basic, theoretically grounded research on political institutions, elections, decision-making, public administration, and public policy. It explicitly does not fund applied research, so businesses looking for product development or commercialization money should not bother. Any entity type can apply, but only those producing rigorous academic social science have a real shot.

NSF program funding basic scientific research on attitudes, behavior, and institutions related to public policy and public services, including decision-making, political institutions, electoral processes, and public administration. Open to any type of entity; also supports undergraduate research experiences and methodological infrastructure.
The Accountable Institutions and Behavior (AIB) Program supports basic scientific research that advances knowledge and understanding of issues broadly related to attitudes, behavior, and institutions connected to public policy and the provision of public services. Research proposals are expected to be theoretically motivated, conceptually precise, methodologically rigorous, and empirically oriented. Substantive areas include (but are not limited to) the study of individual and group decision-making, political institutions (appointed or elected), attitude and preference formation and expression, electoral processes and voting, public administration, and public policy. This work can focus on a single case or can be done in a comparative context, either over time or cross-sectionally. The Program does not fund applied research. The Program also supports research experiences for undergraduate students and infrastructural activities, including methodological innovations. In addition, we encourage you to examine the websites for the National Science Foundation's Law and Science (LS) , Security and Preparedness (SAP) and Research Infrastructure in the Social and Behavioral Sciences (RISBS) programs.
