NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITY :
THE SCIENCE OF SCIENCE AND INNOVATION POLICY (SciSIP)
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=501084&org=SBE&sel_org=SBE&from=fund
Deadline: 22 May
From the SciSIP announcement page:
SciSIP will underwrite fundamental research that creates new explanatory
models and analytic tools 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. Specifically, the research and community
development components of SciSIP’s activities will: (1) develop usable
knowledge and theories of creative processes and their transformation
into social and economic outcomes (2) develop, improve and expand models
and analytical tools that can be applied in the science policy decision
making process; and (3) develop a community of experts across academic
institutions focused on SciSIP. Characterizing the dynamics of
discovery and innovation is important for developing valid metrics, for
predicting future returns on investments, for constructing fruitful
policies, and for developing new forms of workforce education and training.
Potential applicants should read the “solicitation” on the web page
above. Note that SciSIP has two emphasis areas this year: “Analytical
Tools” and “Model Building”. Proposals will need to make clear how the
proposed work pertains to either tools or models.
