Dear Colleagues and Friends,
With fall well underway, we hope that you are all staying safe and healthy. At NSF, we are constantly in awe of the remarkable scientific work you are doing and the positive impact it has on our lives and communities.
The past couple of months have seen ground breaking discoveries in numerous fields supported by SBE, a Nobel prize for two of our longtime awardees, and a constant stream of outstanding results and insights from our many RAPID-funded researchers as they work to help us understand and recover from the pandemic.
We are also excited about several new funding opportunities. The first is a new solicitation for SBE’s Human Networks and Data Science Program, focused on the many biological, social and economic networks in modern society.
Over the next few months we will announce three additional new opportunities. Here’s a preview:
-
“Build and Broaden 2.0” — A funding opportunity encouraging research collaborations between scholars at minority-serving institutions and those at other institutions or organizations.
-
“Strengthening American Infrastructure” — An SBE-led, cross-directorate activity aimed at harnessing the insights of social and behavioral research to envision, build and maintain effective infrastructure that improves lives and society.
-
“BPINNOVATE” — An initiative run by SBE’s Science of Science Program to grow new opportunities for diverse populations by broadening participation in STEM entrepreneurship and innovation.
More details on these upcoming efforts will be released soon. We hope that you share our excitement about them and we look forward to our continued work that strengthens our nation and improves lives.
