NSF DCL: Catalyzing human-centered solutions through research and innovation in science, the environment and society
The National Science Foundation (NSF) released a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL): Catalyzing human-centered solutions through research and innovation in science, the environment and society. This funding opportunity is for interdisciplinary planning proposals, led by social, behavioral, or economic scientists, to inform possible future Centers for Research and Innovation in Science, the Environment and Society (CRISES). By supporting research to understand the social and behavioral aspects of the rapidly changing world and how these challenges are affected by social, political, economic, and natural environments this DCL aims to advance understandings of fundamental and use-inspired research of people, organizations, and society, while revealing emerging opportunities to address challenges affecting individuals and communities to live healthy and productive lives.
Dates
- Concept Outline (Required) due May 1, 2024
- Notification to submit Planning Proposal by May 15, 2024
- Planning Proposal due July 1, 2024
