Grants for the Analysis of Science and Technology Resources

The Division of Science Resources Studies (SRS) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) is responsible for the development of data and analysis pertaining to the Nation's scientific and technological (S&T) endeavors. SRS uses this information to prepare a number of analytical reports including the National Science Board's biennial report, Science and Engineering (S&E) Indicators. As part of the input, planning and development of future S&E Indicators reports as well as the Division's other analytical and statistical efforts, SRS also supports analytical and theoretical efforts by others. SRS welcomes proposals for research, workshops and studies leading to improved approaches to indicator development and presentation, new S&T indicator development, and better understanding of the S&T enterprise in the United States and globally under its Grants for the Analysis of Science and Technology Resources. (This grants program supercedes the "Program for the Analysis of Science and Technology Resources." There is no difference between the programs except for the name change.) SRS is keenly interested in the development of new approaches to the analysis and presentation of data as indicators, with a particular focus on effective methods of presenting complex information as indicators.
