    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.
