About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are seeking proposals for a "Science of Science Approach to Analyzing and Innovating the Biomedical Research Enterprise" grant opportunity. The goal is to advance the scientific understanding of the biomedical research enterprise through research projects focused on areas such as human behavior, social dynamics, economic systems, and cultural phenomena. Proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to provide scientific analysis of important aspects of the biomedical research enterprise and efforts to foster a diverse, innovative, productive, and efficient scientific workforce. Prospective investigators are encouraged to discuss their proposals with the cognizant Program Officers before submission.
The Federal Grant Awards under this opportunity are expected to range from approximately $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The research performance is anticipated to primarily occur at academic and research institutions across the United States.
Synopsis
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are interested in proposals that will propel our understanding of the biomedical research enterprise by drawing from the scientific expertise of the science of science policy research community. NSF promotes the progress of science by maintaining the general health of research and education across all fields of science and engineering. The Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorate within the NSF supports basic research on people and society. The SBE sciences focus on human behavior and social organizations and how social, economic, political, cultural, and environmental forces affect the lives of people from birth to old age and how people in turn shape those forces. SBE's Science of Science: Discovery, Communication, and Impact (SoS:DCI) program supports research designed to advance the scientific basis of science and innovation policy. The NIH is the U.S. Federal agency charged with supporting biomedical research in the U.S.The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) within the NIH supports basic biomedical research that increases understanding of biological processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Both the NSF and NIH believe that there are opportunities and needs in building and supporting research projects with a focus on the scientific research enterprise. The two agencies also recognize that when programmatic goals are compatible, coordinated management and funding of a research program can have a positive synergistic effect on the level and scope of research and can leverage the investments of both agencies. Therefore, NIGMS and SBE are partnering to enable collaboration in research between theSoS:DCI program and NIGMS. This partnership will result in a portfolio of high quality research to provide scientific analysis of important aspects of the biomedical research enterprise and efforts to foster a diverse, innovative, productive and efficient scientific workforce, from which future scientific leaders will emerge. Prospective investigators are strongly encouraged to discuss theirproposals with the cognizant Program Officers before submission to determine project relevance to the priorities of both SBE and NIGMS. Specific questions pertaining to this solicitation can also be directed to the cognizant Program Officers.
