Grants to Support Data for Economic Measurement Projects X LinkedIn Facebook Bluesky Threads Email Link To support the launch of research projects on economic measurement, the Economic Measurement Research Institute (EMRI) at NBER, with the support of the National Science Foundation, invites proposals from early-career faculty members and dissertation-writing doctoral students for small data acquisition grants. Economic measurement can include price measurement, national or regional income and product measures, employment and wage statistics, technology indicators, and a range of other economic measurement topics. Examples of the types of data purchases that are envisioned include, but are not limited to: Data sets from payroll service providers that specialize in small employers to measure their employment and wage trends. Extracts of government administrative data to better capture output and employment for sectors that are not captured with existing official surveys. Subscriptions to or acquisitions of proprietary data sources to measure quality-adjusted prices for emerging technologies. Location data sold by aggregators to measure economic activity for small businesses based on traffic patterns. Grants generally will be between $2,500 and $7,500 and may only be used to cover costs associated with data purchases, including subscriptions to data providers. Grants may not be used to hire research assistants, to cover the salaries of project investigators, or to support the acquisition of data for projects that are not focused on economic measurement and the creation of new or improved economic statistics. The NBER will not cover any indirect costs associated with data purchases or make sub-awards to other institutions. Invoices for data purchases may be paid directly by the NBER, or project investigators can be reimbursed for data purchase expenses.

Visiting Poverty Scholars Program 2026–2027 IRP invites applications from U.S.-based scholars from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to apply for its Visiting Poverty Scholars Program. Applicants may choose to visit IRP or any one of its U.S. Collaborative of Poverty Centers (CPC) partners for five days to interact with that center’s resident faculty, present a poverty-related seminar, and become acquainted with staff and resources. Visiting scholars will confer with a faculty host, who will arrange for interactions​​ with others on campus. Vanessa Delgado, a 2025–2026 Visiting Poverty Scholar and Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington State University, shared her postive experiences with the program. "I was selected to participate in the IRP Visiting Scholar's Program at the UC Davis Center for Poverty and Inequality Research. During my visit, I had the opportunity to share my new research on aging (un)documented immigrants, connect with other early career faculty, and receive feedback from senior migration scholars. The experience was transformative and I gained a new community of scholars who are also passionate about immigrant wellbeing. I highly recommend the IRP Visiting Scholar's Program to all faculty!" The application deadline is Friday, April 3, 2026 (11:59 p.m. CT) with an optional informational webinar on March 4, 2026. Learn more and apply.

The Economic Measurement Research Institute (EMRI), which is supported by the National Science Foundation, promotes research on the measurement of prices, output, labor market outcomes, technology, and related concepts, as well as demonstration projects that will lead to the implementation of new approaches to the creation of official economic statistics. EMRI projects will produce cutting edge research on economic measurement and new methods for leveraging large-scale “naturally occurring data”—i.e., data created by businesses, households, non-profit institutions, and governments during the course of their normal activities—for economic measurement and analysis. This research targets the creation of the knowledge and methods needed to re-engineer the existing system of official statistics so that the methods for data collection, construction, and dissemination are based on 21st century information technology to effectively measure the 21st century economy. The research will produce new methods for capturing how fundamental changes in technologies affect economic outcomes for households and businesses, and how technological change affects the structure of the economy and its overall performance.
