Grant Proposal Guide, January 2011
Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences, Perception, Action, and Cognition Program
Division of Computing and Communication Foundations Communication and Information Foundations
CreativeIT NSF 08-572:
This program solicits proposals for projects that explore synergistic cross-disciplinary research in creativity and computer science and information technology.
Science of Science and Innovation Policy:
The SciSIP program supports research designed to advance the scientific basis of science and innovation policy. Research funded by the program thus develops, improves and expands models, analytical tools, data and metrics that can be applied in the science policy decision making process.
Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS): Core Programs – NSF 11-556:
The Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS) studies the inter-related roles of people, computers, and information. IIS supports research and education activities that 1) develop new knowledge about the role of people in the design and use of information technology; 2) increase our capability to create, manage, and understand data and information in circumstances ranging from personal computers to globally-distributed systems; and 3) advance our understanding of how computational systems can exhibit the hallmarks of intelligence.
CISE Cross-Cutting Programs: FY 2009 and FY 2010 - NSF 08-578:
This solicitation covers programs that cut across all three divisions in CISE (Division of Computer and Network Systems, Division of Computing and Communication Foundations, and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems), seeking proposals that are scientifically timely, and that benefit from the intellectual contributions of researchers with expertise in a number of computing fields and/or sub-fields.
Science, Technology, and Society (STS) - NSF 08-553:
STS considers proposals that examine historical, philosophical, and sociological questions that arise in connection with science, engineering, and technology, and their respective interactions with society.
Virtual Organizations as Sociotechnical Systems – NSF 11-501
The Virtual Organizations as Sociotechnical Systems (VOSS) program supports fundamental scientific research, particularly advances in social, organizational and design science understanding, directed at advancing the understanding of how to develop virtual organizations and under what conditions virtual organizations can enable and enhance scientific, engineering, and education production and innovation.
