Dear Colleagues,
The newest solicitation for the Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) has been posted at:
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2008/nsf08586/nsf08586.htm
The SciSIP program underwrites fundamental research that creates new explanatory models, analytic tools and datasets designed to inform the nation’s public and private sectors about the processes through which investments in science and engineering (S&E) research are transformed into social and economic outcomes. SciSIP’s goals are to understand the contexts, structures and processes of S&E research, to evaluate reliably the tangible and intangible returns from investments in research and development (R&D), and to predict the likely returns from future R&D investments within tolerable margins of error and with attention to the full spectrum of potential consequences.
In addition to standard SciSIP proposals, this solicitation includes a category for four demonstration projects. These projects are intended to demonstrate viable approaches to the collection and analysis of data on knowledge generation and innovation in organizations. The demonstration projects should provide evidence of the scalability and sustainability of the approach, have a data protection and dissemination plan, and include a plan describing how the project’s progress towards its scientific goals can be evaluated and assessed.
This solicitation also calls for proposals which use new techniques to analyze and visualize complex datasets.
The due date is December 16, 2008, and the cognizant program officer is Julia Lane. Please contact Dr. Lane at jlane@nsf.gov directly with your questions.
Sincerely,
Amber Story
