NSF has just released the solicitation for our final Human and Social Dynamics Competition. Once again, these proposals must be significantly interdisciplinary (3 co-PIs from at least 2 different disciplines). The three areas of emphasis remain unchanged. This year, exploratory proposals are not invited. The two budget categories are $750,000 maximum (where most proposals will fall) and $1.25 million maximum (for particularly expensive interdisciplinary projects). The deadlines are 19 and 22 Feb (depending on budget request).
The solicitation is posted at:

Although this is the last year for this competition, please do not discount the opportunity. NSF expects to fund $30 million in HSD project in '08 competition. For those of you working on significantly interdisciplinary and potentially transformative topics, this is still a wonderful opportunity.
Best regards.
