Eligibility is unrestricted and open to any type of entity (subject to any clarifications in the program's eligibility text), making this NSF program broadly available. The Accountable Institutions and Behavior (AIB) Program funds theoretically grounded, methodologically rigorous basic social-science research on attitudes, behavior, and institutions related to public policy and public services, and also supports undergraduate research experiences and methodological infrastructure. Note that the program does not fund applied research, so proposals must be basic-science oriented.

Who can apply for U.S. National Science Foundation funding?
Eligibility is set per opportunity, not per agency — the same funder will run one program open to any nonprofit and another restricted to accredited universities. Across the U.S. National Science Foundation opportunities listed here the recurring eligibility signals are researchers, schools & universities, broad eligibility and nonprofits. Every listing still states its own terms in plain English; confirm them on the funder's official notice before you apply.
