About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking proposals for the Science of Learning Centers (SLC) program, which offers awards for large-scale, long-term Centers that create the intellectual, organizational, and physical infrastructure needed for the advancement of Science of Learning research. The program aims to advance the frontiers of all the sciences of learning through integrated research, connect the research to specific scientific, technological, educational, and workforce challenges, and enable research communities to capitalize on new opportunities and discoveries. The goals, approaches, and topics are broad, including learning in animals, humans, and machines. Proposals will be evaluated based on their creativity, integration of theoretical and empirical work, innovative models of research and research transfer, and inventive uses of technology.
There are currently no SLC Centers or Catalyst competitions, but the program is accepting proposals for Workshops, EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), Rapid Response Grants (RAPID), and Supplements to NSF awards. Proposals for EAGER or RAPID grants must have prior contact with the NSF program officer before submission. The funding for this program is provided through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; Geosciences; Biological Sciences; Integrative Activities; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Engineering; and Mathematical and Physical Sciences programs.
Synopsis
The Science of Learning Centers program (SLC) offers awards for large-scale, long-term Centers that create the intellectual, organizational and physical infrastructure needed for the long-term advancement of Science of Learning research. It supports research that harnesses and integrates knowledge across multiple disciplines to create a common groundwork of conceptualization, experimentation and explanation that anchor new lines of thinking and inquiry towards a deeper understanding of learning. The goals of the Science of Learning Centers Program are to advance the frontiers of all the sciences of learning through integrated research; to connect the research to specific scientific, technological, educational, and workforce challenges; to enable research communities to capitalize on new opportunities and discoveries; and to respond to new challenges. The SLC Program construes learning broadly, including that of animals, humans and machines. The program is open to many possible approaches and topics that can be brought to examine what learning is, how it is affected, how it works at different levels, how biologically-derived learning principles can inform artificial systems and vice versa. The Program places high value on creativity, integration of theoretical and empirical work, innovative models of research and research transfer, and inventive uses of technology. Science of Learning Centers are built around a unifying research focus and incorporate a diverse, multidisciplinary environment involving appropriate partnerships with academia, industry, all levels of education, and other public and private entities. Catalyst awards were made during the initial years of the program. Catalyst awards are designed to enable partnership-building and research activitiesthat facilitate interdisciplinary approaches to questions that require multiple areas of expertise. There are currently no SLC Centers or Catalyst competitions. However, the Science of Learning CentersProgram is currently accepting proposals for Workshops, EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), Rapid Response Grants (RAPID), and Supplements to NSF awards (including those funded by other programs). As noted in the Grant Proposal Guide, PIs must contact the NSF program officer prior to submission of an EAGER or RAPID proposal. Proposals submitted without prior contact will be returned without review.
