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.
