The Behavioral Interventions to Advance Self-Sufficiency (BIAS) project was the first major opportunity to use a behavioral economic lens to examine programs in the United States that serve families who have low incomes. Sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and led by MDRC, the project applied behavioral insights to issues related to the operations, implementation, and efficacy of social service programs and policies. The goal was to learn how tools from behavioral science can be used to deliver programs more effectively and, ultimately, improve the well-being of children, adults, and families with low incomes.
