COMBUSTION, FIRE, AND PLASMA SYSTEMS
- Description
The Combustion, Fire, and Plasma Systems program supports fundamental research and education relevant to these subjects. Among the broader societal impacts of the program are cleaner global and local environments, enhanced public safety, improved energy and homeland security, useful new materials, and more efficient manufacturing. This program is not an applied research program, but rather it provides broad, basic knowledge that can be used by others in development of systems for combustion and plasma applications and for mitigating the effects of fire. Broad-based tools - - computational, experimental, or diagnostic - - that can be applied to a variety of problems in combustion, fires, and/or plasmas are major products of this endeavor. Note that the plasma science is generally in support of plasma processing; atmospheric-science or fusion-energy plasmas are funded elsewhere. Areas of interest include: - Gas, liquid, and solid combustion in premixed, non-premixed, partially premixed, or flow-reactor configurations
- Laminar and turbulent combustion over a range of temperatures and pressures and length scales
- Structure and dynamics of flames and plasmas
- The science needed to enable use of domestically generated alternate fuels
- Improved understanding of flame spread, inhibition, and suppression
- Atmospheric-pressure plasmas and other emerging plasma-processing methods relevant to biotechnology, material synthesis, and other industrial applications
- Mitigation of combustion-generated pollution
- Basic climate-change technology research directly related to combustion, fire, or plasma systems
- Development of diagnostic tools and the needed underlying science
- Projects that intersect nanotechnology and combustion, fire, or plasma-processing science
- Projects that combine combustion and plasma science or contribute to both fields of research are encouraged
- Projects relevant to combustion, fires, or plasma processing that contribute to the emerging cyberinfrastructure for scientific information technology
The duration of unsolicited awards is generally one to three years. The average annual award size for the program is $90,000. Small equipment proposals of less than $100,000 will also be considered and may be submitted during these windows. Any proposal received outside the announced dates will be returned without review. The duration of CAREER awards is five years. The submission deadline for Engineering CAREER proposals is in July every year.

LAW AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
- Description
The Law and Social Science Program at the National Science Foundation supports social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules, institutions, processes, and behaviors. These can include, but are not limited to, research designed to enhance the scientific understanding of the impact of law; human behavior and interactions as these relate to law; the dynamics of legal decision making; and the nature, sources, and consequences of variations and changes in legal institutions. The primary consideration is that the research shows promise of advancing a scientific understanding of law and legal process. Within this framework, the Program has an "open window" for diverse theoretical perspectives, methods and contexts for study. For example, research on social control, crime causation, violence, victimization, legal and social change, patterns of discretion, procedural justice, compliance and deterrence, and regulatory enforcement are among the many areas that have recently received program support. In addition to standard proposals, planning grant proposals, travel support requests to lay the foundation for research, and proposals for improving doctoral dissertation research are welcome.
The Law and Social Science Program continues to solicit proposals that take account of the growing interdependence and interconnections of the world. Thus proposals are welcome that advance fundamental knowledge about legal interactions, processes, relations, and diffusions that extend beyond any single nation as well as about how local and national legal institutions, systems, and cultures affect or are affected by transnational or international phenomena. Thus, proposals may locate the research within a single nation or between or across legal systems or regimes.
The review process for the Law and Social Science Program is approximately six months. It includes appraisal of proposals by ad hoc reviewers selected for their expertise from throughout the social scientific community and by an advisory panel that meets twice a year. The target dates for the submission of proposals are January 15 for proposals to be funded as early as July and August 15 for proposals to be funded in or after January.
Besides information on the Law and Social Science Program, please also visit the Cross-Directorate Activities program web site. For program specific guidelines on the Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants for the Law and Social Science Program, please visit the Doctoral Preparation Checklist.

METALS AND METALLIC NANOSTRUCTURES
- Description
Using the combined tools of experiment, theory and computer simulations, the goals of this program are to enable the advancement of fundamental understanding of metallic materials from the atomic to nano-structural to bulk length scales via imaginative and, especially, transformational research. A primary objective is to foster the expansion of the activities of synthesis, processing and characterization so that advanced metallic materials and nanostructures with superior physical, mechanical, and/or chemical properties can be predicted and designed, leading to enhanced knowledge of nano- and micro-structure/composition/property relationships at all the relevant length scales.
The broad intellectual scope of this program covers the science of advanced structural, high-temperature, hybrid and multifunctional metallic materials; phase transitions, equilibrium and non-equilibrium structures, defects, and phenomena; thermodynamics, kinetics, diffusion, and cooperative behavior across length scales leading to fundamental insights into material properties, nano- and micro-structure evolution; tailored surfaces and interfaces; oxidation; metal-based transducer materials utilizing novel principles for energy conversion; magnetic structures and their interaction with electron transport; metallic clusters and nanoparticles, linear chains and nanowires, low-dimensional structures that exhibit new behavior, quantized electronic, magnetic, or thermal effects, and enhanced physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.
