Research on the S&T Enterprise. The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) would like to invite proposals for support of research using the data it collects and on methodologies in areas related to the work of the Center. For complete details, see Research on the Science and Technology Enterprise: Statistics and Surveys. Building Community and Capacity for Data-Intensive Research in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences and in Education and Human Resources (BCC-SBE/EHR). As part of NSF's Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering (CIF21) activity, the Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE), the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure seek to enable research communities to develop visions, teams, and capabilities dedicated to creating new, large-scale, next-generation data resources and relevant analytic techniques to advance fundamental research for the SBE and EHR sciences. See the BCC-SBE/EHR Program Announcement for more information. SBE 2020 Update. The SBE 2020 Report, Rebuilding the Mosaic: Fostering Research in the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences at the National Science Foundation in the Next Decade is now available. A webcast on this report was released on December 1, 2011. Stimulating Research Related to the Science of Broadening Participation. The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) and the Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES) within the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Directorate (SBE) wish to bring to your attention our goal of stimulating research related to the Science of Broadening Participation (SBP). For complete details concerning this new endeavor, see our Dear Colleague Letter. Interdisciplinary Research Across the SBE Sciences. Rebuilding the Mosaic, which reports the results of the year-long SBE 2020 visioning process, finds that scholars in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences believe that future research will be interdisciplinary, collaborative, and data intensive. The Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE) therefore encourages investigators to submit proposals that go beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplines, span across the existing core SBE programs, or extend outside the SBE sciences. Visit the Dear Colleague Letter to learn more. Law and Social Sciences. The Law and Social Sciences program (LSS) is particularly interested in enhancing its support of JD/PhD scholars in the law school academy, as outlined in the Dear Colleague Letter: Law and Social Sciences. Coordination of the NSF-Census Research Network. In fiscal year 2011, NSF made eight awards in response to proposals submitted to the NSF-Census Research Network Program Solicitation (NCRN; NSF 10-621). This Dear Colleague Letter provides information on funding opportunities at the National Science Foundation for the research community to propose a coordination body for these new projects. Describing the Conduct of Science in the Information Age. New digital technologies and datasets are transforming the practice of science. providing new ways for scientists to identify and contact key research partners to begin collaborations; to create scientific information, data, and knowledge; and to disseminate, replicate, and reuse it. At the same time, US science agencies are being asked to develop data sets, measure outcomes, and evaluate performance in order to inform policy and operational decisions. The purpose of this Dear Colleague Letter is to advise you about NSF funding opportunities for workshops that will help identify and develop data, models, and tools to inform these efforts.

As scientific research becomes more global in scope and significance, fostering the expansion of interdisciplinary research endeavors and international collaborations is of increasing importance. The Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorate encourages research that brings U.S. scientists together with scientists from other countries to work on common projects. Consequently, the SBE Directorate and The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) of the UK have been collaborating in support of research of mutual interest for several years. A Memorandum of Understanding is in place to encourage interdisciplinary research and facilitate the peer-review and joint-funding of US-UK collaborative research in areas at the intersection of the two agencies' missions. Prospective Principal Investigators (PIs) should review the programs supported through SBE's two research divisions, the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences and Division of Social and Economic Sciences, as well as the AHRC for further information on each of the agency's areas of support. Researchers are also encouraged to discuss topics for possible joint support with agency personnel. If you are interested in US-UK collaborative research opportunities, please review the special guidelines to learn more about the review process and criteria established under the MOU.
