About this opportunity
This Federal Grant Opportunity from the National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking proposals for individual or multi-investigator research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, workshops, experimental research, survey research, and data collection and dissemination projects under its program for "Research on the Science and Technology Enterprise: Statistics and Surveys." The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within NSF is interested in enhancing its efforts to support analytic and methodological research related to its surveys, as well as engaging in the education and training of researchers in the use of large-scale nationally representative datasets. The key evaluation criteria will focus on the research community's ability to use NCSES data to study the science and technology enterprise, develop improved survey methodologies, create and improve indicators of science and technology activities and resources, and strengthen methodologies to analyze and disseminate science and technology statistical data.
This opportunity falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075), which typically awards project grants ranging from $30,000 to $500,000 with project periods of 1-5 years. The awards will support research to be performed primarily at academic and research institutions across the United States.
Synopsis
The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) is one of the thirteen principal federal statistical agencies within the United States. It is responsible for the collection, acquisition, analysis, reporting and dissemination of objective, statistical data related to the science and engineering enterprise in the United States and other nations that is relevant and useful to practitioners, researchers, policymakers and the public. NCSES uses this information to prepare a number of statistical data reports as well as analytical reports including the National Science Board's biennial report, Science and Engineering (S & E) Indicators, and Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering. The Center would like to enhance its efforts to support analytic and methodological research in support of its surveys, and to engage in the education and training of researchers in the use of large-scale nationally representative datasets. NCSES welcomes efforts by the research community to use NCSES data for research on the science and technology enterprise, to develop improved survey methodologies for NCSES surveys, to create and improve indicators of S & T activities and resources, and strengthen methodologies to analyze and disseminate S & T statistical data. To that end, NCSES invites proposals for individual or multi-investigator research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, workshops, experimental research, survey research and data collection and dissemination projects under its program for Research on the Science and Technology Enterprise: Statistics and Surveys.
