Hi
We'd like to remind you that the 2011 deadline for proposals to the Science of Science & Innovation Policy (SciSIP) program at the National Science Foundation is Sept 9, 2011.
The major focus is on advancing the theoretical and empirical basis for science and innovation policy. As such we fund researchers from many disciplines, including economics, sociology, psychology, political science, computer science as well as physical sciences and engineering. Award amounts vary widely - from dissertation grants of $12,000 to large scale data collection activities exceeding $1,000,000.
The program is closely allied with the White House Science of Science Policy Interagency Group (http://scienceofsciencepolicy.net <https://owa2003.nsf.gov/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://scienceofsciencepolicy.net/> ) and as such, provides a channel whereby the analytical work done by SciSIP researchers can help inform policy.
Indeed, a recent speech <https://owa2003.nsf.gov/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/bernanke20110516a.htm> by Ben Bernanke noted " Unfortunately, economists know less about how best to channel public support for research and development than we would like; it is good news, therefore, that considerable new work is being done on this topic, including recent initiatives on science policy by the National Science Foundation.16 <https://owa2003.nsf.gov/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/bernanke20110516a.htm%23fn16>
More information is available on the website: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=501084 <https://owa2003.nsf.gov/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=501084> ; a list of recent awards can be seen here: http://1.usa.gov/scisip <https://owa2003.nsf.gov/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://1.usa.gov/scisip> .
