About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS) grant competition to support interdisciplinary research teams in the social and behavioral sciences. The funding opportunity emphasizes research that integrates theoretical approaches and methodologies from multiple disciplines within the social and behavioral sciences. Successful proposals are expected to yield generalizable insights that advance basic knowledge and capabilities across multiple fields. While the NSF will consider proposals on any topic within the social and behavioral sciences, they are particularly interested in research on population change, sources and consequences of disparities, and the impacts of technology and new media. The deadline for submitting proposals is not provided.
The IBSS grants are part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program, which typically awards between $30,000 and $500,000 per project over 1-5 year periods. The awards support research activities at academic and research institutions across the United States.
Synopsis
The Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS) competition promotes the conduct of interdisciplinary research by teams of investigators in the social and behavioral sciences. Emphasis is placed on support for research that involves researchers from multiple SBE disciplinary fields and that integrates scientific theoretical approaches and methodologies from multiple SBE disciplinary fields. Emphasis also is placed on the significance of expected intellectual contributions that are likely to yield generalizable insights and information that will enhance theoretical perspectives and advance basic knowledge and capabilities across multiple SBE disciplinary fields. Although the IBSS competition will consider any proposal that addresses a topic for which the proposal makes a compelling case that the research will enhance broader theoretical understanding across multiple social and behavioral science fields, social and behavioral science researchers are especially encouraged to submit proposals for research on one of the following three broadly defined topics: Population Change; Sources and Consequences of Disparities; and Technology, New Media, and Social Networks.
