I am writing to alert you of a new opportunity for funding available
through Pew's Make Voting Work (MVW) initiative. MVW, a project of
the Pew Center on the States in partnership with the JEHT Foundation,
has announced up to $400,000 in new funding available for research
examining alternatives to precinct-based election day voting,
including early in-person and absentee voting and vote by mail
systems.
Interested applicants can apply for funds through a request for
proposals (RFP), which is attached or available here at our website.
The RFP is part of Pew's Make Voting Work initiative, which is focused
on improving the accuracy, convenience, efficiency and security of
U.S. elections. Proposals will be accepted through August 15, 2008.
MVW is issuing a Request for Proposals to advance research in this
area and as a complement to the broader Make Voting Work research
agenda.
Proposals are encouraged from an array of organizations, individuals
and teams, but preference will be shown to partnerships between
election officials and academic researchers. If you have questions
about the RFP, do not hesitate to contact me.
All the best,
Zachary Markovits
