Joshua Jansa, a Ph.D. student in political science in UNC\u2019s College of Arts and Sciences, has received a grant to support his research from the Horowitz Foundation.<\/p>\n

Jansa\u2019s project is “Laboratories of Inequality: The Politics of Economic Development Subsides and the Distribution of Resources in America.”<\/p>\n

The Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy selected 20 scholars to receive grants for the 2014 award year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we received 416 applications, the largest number in our 18-year history,\u201d said Mary E. Curtis. \u201cThe 20 applicants who are receiving awards this year represent less than 5 percent of those who applied. The Trustees consider their work on topics of social and political importance to be vibrant examples of how policy research can help us address the challenges of today\u2019s complex society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jansa studies American politics and political methodology. His research focus includes interest groups, state and local politics, policy diffusion, economic policy, economic inequality and social network analysis.<\/p>\n

Awardees of Horowitz grants must be pursuing projects that deal with contemporary issues in the social sciences, particularly issues of policy relevance.<\/p>\n
