The American National Election Studies (ANES) awarded $14 million to study 2024 elections

 

The American National Election Studies has received funding to study the 2024 elections in the United States – including topics such as public health, democratic norms and electoral legitimacy. The project’s scientific leadership team includes Nicholas Valentino from the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. After a nationwide competition, the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center was selected to conduct the study’s data collection.

“The 2024 elections will occur at a moment of great uncertainty and change in American politics.” said Valentino. “What does the public make of these disruptions? The 2024 ANES will help scholars from multiple disciplines answer this question.”
