  2. Economics at NSF • We continue to be the largest SBE program, but our funding is growing more slowly than the overall SBE budget. • Last Year: 368 submissions, 36% funded. • High Success Rate due to an additional $4 million in ARRA funds. • ARRA funds exhausted • Fall 2009: 30% increase in proposals.

  3. New Small Grant Mechanisms • Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) • Severe urgency with regard to availability of or access to data and facilities. • Max of $200k/1 year. • Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) • Exploratory work on untested but potentially transformative ideas or approaches. • Max of $300k/2 years. • Must contact Program Officer before submission.

  4. Other SBE Funding Opportunities • SBE Dear Colleague Letters: • Integrating HSD goals: Complexity, Infrastructure, Interdisciplinary • Environment, Society, and the Economy (ESE) • Social Computational Systems (SoCS) : 8/31/2010 • Other SBE programs (DRMS, LSS, MMS, etc) • Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants • Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowships • Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) sites

  5. Science of Science and Innovation Policy Program (SciSIP) How are investments in science and engineering research transformed into social and economic outcomes? • $8 million/year; annual deadline is Sept 9 • Interdisciplinary – funding research across SBE in data, model and tool development • Website http://cs.scienceofsciencepolicy.net • Contact: Julia Lane jlane@nsf.gov

  6. NSF-Wide Funding Opportunities • Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI): Feb 4/5, 2010. • Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH): 11/16/2010 • Major Research Instrumentation (MRI)? • Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT): 3/29/2010
