Research Proposal Guidelines for Power Analysis

About this program

Arnold Ventures, a foundation focused on evidence-based solutions, mandates that research proposals include comprehensive power analyses to ensure methodological rigor. Applicants must detail target sample size, minimal detectable effect size (MDE), anticipated effect size, and assumptions underlying power calculations, with a focus on simulation-based methods for non-experimental designs. Eligibility is open to researchers conducting both experimental and non-experimental studies, who must clearly define their power analysis assumptions and adapt provided resources to their specific research context. There are no specified deadlines or cost-sharing requirements for this open opportunity.
