NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITY :
THE SCIENCE OF SCIENCE AND INNOVATION POLICY (SciSIP)
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=501084&org=SBE&sel_org=SBE&from=fund
Deadline: 22 May
From the SciSIP announcement page:
SciSIP will underwrite fundamental research that creates new explanatory
models and analytic tools designed to inform the nation's public and private
sectors about the processes through which investments in science and
engineering (S&E) research are transformed into social and economic
outcomes. SciSIP's goals are to understand the contexts, structures and
processes of S&E research, to evaluate reliably the tangible and intangible
returns from investments in research and development (R&D), and to predict
the likely returns from future R&D investments within tolerable margins of
error and with attention to the full spectrum of potential consequences.
Specifically, the research and community development components of SciSIP's
activities will: (1) develop usable knowledge and theories of creative
processes and their transformation into social and economic outcomes (2)
develop, improve and expand models and analytical tools that can be applied
in the science policy decision making process; and (3) develop a community
of experts across academic institutions focused on SciSIP. Characterizing
the dynamics of discovery and innovation is important for developing valid
metrics, for predicting future returns on investments, for constructing
fruitful policies, and for developing new forms of workforce education and
training.
Potential applicants should read the "solicitation" on the web page above.
Note that SciSIP has two emphasis areas this year: "Analytical Tools" and
"Model Building". Proposals will need to make clear how the proposed work
pertains to either tools or models.
