- Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS)
Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE)
SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities
Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences
Division of Social and Economic Sciences
NSF Solicitation: 15-588
The Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS)
competition promotes the conduct of interdisciplinary research by teams
of investigators in the social and behavioral sciences. Emphasis is
placed on support for research that involves researchers from multiple
SBE disciplinary fields and that integrates scientific theoretical
approaches and methodologies from multiple SBE disciplinary fields.
Emphasis also is placed on the significance of expected intellectual
contributions that are likely to yield generalizable insights and
information that will enhance theoretical perspectives and advance basic
knowledge and capabilities across multiple SBE disciplinary fields.
Although the IBSS competition will consider any proposal that addresses
a topic for which the proposal makes a compelling case that the research
will enhance broader theoretical understanding across multiple social
and behavioral science fields, social and behavioral science researchers
are especially encouraged to submit proposals for research on one of the
following three broadly defined topics: Population Change; Sources and
Consequences of Disparities; and Technology, New Media, and Social
Networks.
Full proposal deadline: 1 December 2015.

- Cultural Anthropology Program - Scholars Awards
Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences
NSF Solicitation: 07-544
The National Science Foundation announces an opportunity for
methodological training by cultural anthropologists who are active
researchers. The purpose is to help cultural anthropologists upgrade
their methodological skills by learning a specific analytical technique,
which will improve their research abilities.
Full Proposal Target Date: August 16, 2015.

- Cultural Anthropology Program
Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences
NSF Solicitation: PD 98-1390
The primary objective of the Cultural Anthropology Program is to support
basic scientific research on the causes, consequences, and complexities
of human social and cultural variability. Anthropological research spans
a wide gamut, and contemporary cultural anthropology is an arena in
which diverse research traditions and methodologies are valid.
Recognizing the breadth of the field's contributions to science, the
Cultural Anthropology Program welcomes proposals for empirically
grounded, theoretically engaged, and methodologically sophisticated
research in all sub-fields of cultural anthropology. Because the
National Science Foundation's mandate is to support basic research, the
NSF Cultural Anthropology Program does not fund research that takes as
its primary goal improved clinical practice or applied policy.
Full Proposal Target Dates: 15 August 2015.

- Cultural Anthropology Program
Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (CA-DDRIG)
Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences
NSF Solicitation: 15-556
The primary objective of the Cultural Anthropology Program is to support
basic scientific research on the causes, consequences, and complexities
of human social and cultural variability.
Anthropological research spans a wide gamut, and contemporary cultural
anthropology is an arena in which diverse research traditions and
methodologies are valid. Recognizing the breadth of the field's
contributions to science, the Cultural Anthropology Program welcomes
proposals for empirically grounded, theoretically engaged, and
methodologically sophisticated research in all sub-fields of cultural
anthropology. Because the National Science Foundation's mandate is to
support basic research, the NSF Cultural Anthropology Program does not
fund research that takes as its primary goal improved clinical practice
or applied policy. A proposal that uses anthropological methods to
understand a social problem but does not propose to make a
theory-testing and/or theory expanding contribution to anthropology will
be returned without review.
As part of its effort to encourage and support projects that explicitly
integrate education and basic research, CA provides support to enhance
and improve the conduct of doctoral dissertation projects designed and
carried out by doctoral students enrolled in U.S. universities who are
conducting scientific research that enhances basic scientific knowledge.
Full Proposal Target Date: August 17, 2015.

- Political Science Program
Division of Social and Economic Sciences
NSF Solicitation: PD 98-1371
The Political Science Program supports scientific research that advances
knowledge and understanding of citizenship, government, and politics.
Research proposals are expected to be theoretically motivated,
conceptually precise, methodologically rigorous, and empirically
oriented. Substantive areas include, but are not limited to, American
government and politics, comparative government and politics,
international relations, political behavior, political economy, and
political institutions.
In recent years, program awards have supported research projects on
bargaining processes; campaigns and elections, electoral choice, and
electoral systems; citizen support in emerging and established
democracies; democratization, political change, and regime transitions;
domestic and international conflict; international political economy;
party activism; political psychology and political tolerance. The
Program also has supported research experiences for undergraduate
students and infrastructural activities, including methodological
innovations, in the discipline.
Full Proposal Target Date: 15 August 2015, annually thereafter.

- Sociology Program
Division of Social and Economic Sciences
NSF Solicitation: PD 98-1331
The Sociology Program supports basic research on all forms of human
social organization -- societies, institutions, groups and demography --
and processes of individual and institutional change. The Program
encourages theoretically focused empirical investigations aimed at
improving the explanation of fundamental social processes. Included is
research on organizations and organizational behavior, population
dynamics, social movements, social groups, labor force participation,
stratification and mobility, family, social networks, socialization,
gender roles, and the sociology of science and technology. The Program
supports both original data collections and secondary data analysis that
use the full range of quantitative and qualitative methodological tools.
Theoretically grounded projects that offer methodological innovations
and improvements for data collection and analysis are also welcomed.
Full Proposal Target Date: 15 August 2015, annually thereafter.
