| Title: |
NSF/SBE Research for 2020 and Beyond: Enhancing Fundamental Knowledge and Benefits to Society |
| Lead Author: |
Harris, Angel L. |
| Abstract: |
There are several important issues that will require attention from the next generation of SBE researchers. The NSF/SBE should respond rapidly and substantively to major social problems confronting both the nation and the global community. In particular, SBE should prioritize devoting resources to addressing the large racial/ethnic disparities that exist within the United States (U.S.). The United States (U.S.) population is undergoing major demographic changes, with the minority population increasing so rapidly that it is projected to comprise roughly half of the U.S. population by 2045. Furthermore, given the increasing interconnection of the global community, innovative research is also necessary to enhance knowledge that benefits the global community. Below we propose nine research agendasfive that address issues relevant to the U.S. and four with global relevancethat should be integral to NSF/SBE over the next several decades. |
