ANNOUNCE Human and Social Dynamics Grant

Greetings,

The following is a National Science Foundtion grant announcement.
Perhaps an excellent opportunity relevant to our latest threads.

Synopsis: http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do? ... ppId=10942
Full Announcement: NSF Publication 06-604

Description:
The Human and Social Dynamics (HSD) priority area fosters breakthroughs in understanding the dynamics of human action and development, as well as knowledge about organizational, cultural, and societal adaptation and change.
HSD aims to increase our collective ability to (1) understand the complexities of change; (2) understand the dynamics of human and social behavior at all levels, including that of the human mind; (3) understand the cognitive and social structures that create, define, and result from change; and (4) manage profound or rapid change, and make decisions in the face of changing risks and uncertainty. Accomplishing these goals requires multidisciplinary research teams and comprehensive, interdisciplinary approaches across the sciences, engineering, education, and humanities, as appropriate. The FY 2007 competition will include three emphasis areas (Agents of Change; Dynamics of Human Behavior; and Decision Making, Risk a nd Uncertainty). Support will be provided for Full Research projects and for shorter-term Exploratory Research and HSD Research Community Development projects. NSF encourages HSD projects that provide insight into social processes such as globalization and migration and factors that promote innovation, at levels from the molecular functioning of the human brain to the organizational. Such research is important for enhancing the ability of the country to maintain its competitive edge in a globalized world.
