Description
The Freedom and Prosperity Academic Grants, offered by the Acton Institute in collaboration with the Atlantic Council's Freedom and Prosperity Center, fund original research projects that utilize or enhance the Atlantic Council's Freedom and Prosperity Indexes. These grants are intended to advance scholarship on the links between freedom (political, legal, and economic) and prosperity, or to improve the robustness of the indexes themselves. Projects may investigate broad theoretical questions or focus on country or regional trends, and must result in a concrete research artifact such as a published paper, book chapter, or similar output.
