About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking research proposals for its Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program. This program supports projects that use historical, philosophical, and social scientific methods to investigate the intellectual, material, and social aspects of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The program covers a wide range of STS topics, including ethics, equity, governance, and policy issues related to STEM fields, including medical science. Proposals will be evaluated based on their intellectual merit and broader impacts, and the review process takes approximately six months. The deadlines for submitting proposals are February 2nd and August 3rd, with one exception for Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant proposals, which have a single deadline of August 3rd.
The STS program typically awards grants ranging from $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The awards support research at academic and research institutions across the United States, contributing to the scientific strength and welfare of the nation through the promotion of basic research and education in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences.
Synopsis
The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program supports research that uses historical, philosophical, and social scientific methods to investigate the intellectual, material, and social facets of the scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical (STEM) disciplines. It encompasses a broad spectrum of STS topics including interdisciplinary studies of ethics, equity, governance, and policy issues that are closely related to STEM disciplines, including medical science. The program's review process is approximately six months. It includes appraisal of proposals by ad hoc reviewers selected for their expertise and by an advisory panel that meets twice a year. The deadlines for the submission of proposals are February 2nd for proposals to be funded as early as July, and August 3rd for proposals to be funded in or after January. There is one exception: Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant proposals will have only one deadline per year, August 3rd. The Program encourages potential investigators with questions as to whether their proposal fits the goals of the program to contact one of the program officers.
