3226 - National Science Foundation: Beyond Standard Grants: NSF’s Ten Big Ideas

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Description

The National Science Foundation is using newly appropriated funds to support special programs including the Ten Big Ideas. Some of these programs are especially relevant to sociologists, including the Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier, Harnessing the Data Revolution, Mid-scale Research Infrastructure, and Growing Convergence Research. This workshop targets faculty and researchers who are willing to invest in interdisciplinary partnerships, which are often required in these competitions. Representatives of NSF will discuss how these programs are organized and the review processes through which these large awards are made. The format will be interactive, allowing for audience questions and participation. A sociologist discussant who had been active in this type of work will offer additional comments and suggestions.
