Russell Sage Foundation’s Latest Grants for Research Important to Women

The Russell Sage Foundation in New York City recently approved 29 research grants in its programs on Behavioral Science and Decision Making in Context; Future of Work; Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration; and Social, Political, and Economic Inequality, and in its special initiatives Immigration and Immigrant Integration and Implications of the 2023 Supreme Court Decision to Ban Race-Conscious Admissions at Colleges and Universities for Educational Attainment and Economic Mobility. Some of these grants directly relate to issues important to women.

Tanner Eastmond and Richard Patterson of Brigham Young University in Utah and Amanda Bonheur of the RAND Corporation will examine the extent to which the share of job applications from women and underrepresented racial groups can be increased by including encouraging and informative language around qualification requirements in job ads.

Stav Atir of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Hannah Birnbaum of Washington University in St. Louis will examine the extent to which women and racial minorities use formal cues as a sign of professional legitimacy and whether those who enact formality are penalized, especially under informal workplace norms.

Jeremy Reynolds of Purdue University in Indiana will examine racial and gender differences in stress, the ability to meet earnings targets, and control over work hours among microtask workers on MTurk and Prolific.

Stacy Dickert-Conlin of Syracuse University in New York, Michael Conlin of Michigan State University, and Katie Harris-Lagoudakis of Iowa State University will estimate the effect of a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) online redemption program on WIC redemption rates.

Laura Gee of Tufts University in Massachusetts, Olga Stoddard of Brigham Young University in Utah, and Kristy Buzard of Syracuse University in New York will examine the causes, consequences, and inequalities of invisible household labor — the cognitive, emotional, and managerial work essential to family functioning.

David Rothwell and Hyein Kang of Oregon State University will examine the implementation of Oregon’s paid family leave (PFL) policy to understand who uses paid leave and how PFL affects labor market outcomes and safety net use.
