WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 -- The National Science Foundation announced that it expects to award up to eight discretionary grants for a policy approach to analyzing and innovating the biomedical research enterprise.
The estimated total program funding available was cited as $2 million with a ceiling of $250,000 for each award in the program. The agency said the grant was associated with science and technology and other research and development.
The funding is open to state, county, city, township and special district governments; independent school districts; private, public and state controlled institutionsof higher education; Native American tribal governments and organizations; Historically Black Colleges and Universities; Tribally controlled colleges; non-profits; for profits; small businesses; eligible agencies of the federal government; and faith-based or community-based organizations.
The agency description of the grant states: "The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are interested in proposals that will propel our understanding of the biomedical research enterprise by drawing from the scientific expertise of the science of science policy research community. NSF promotes the progress of science by maintaining the general health of research and education across all fields of science and engineering. The Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorate within the NSF supports basic research on people and society.
The SBE sciences focus on human behavior and social organizations and how social, economic, political, cultural, and environmental forces affect the lives of people from birth to old age and how people in turn shape those forces. SBE's Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) program supports research designed to advance the scientific basis of science and innovation policy. The NIH is the U.S. Federal agency charged with supporting biomedical research in the U.S.The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) within the NIH supports basic biomedical research that increases understanding of biological processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
Both the NSF and NIH believe that there are opportunities and needs in building and supporting research projects with a focus on the scientific research enterprise. The two agencies also recognize that when programmatic goals are compatible, coordinated management and funding of a research program can have a positive synergistic effect on the level and scope of research and can leverage the investments of both agencies. Therefore, NIGMS and SBE are partnering to enable collaboration in research between the SciSIP program and NIGMS.
This partnership will result in a portfolio of high quality research to provide scientific analysis of important aspects of the biomedical research enterprise and efforts to foster a diverse, innovative, productive and efficient scientific workforce, from which future scientific leaders will emerge. Prospective investigators are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposals with the cognizant Program Officers before submission to determine project relevance to the priorities of both SBE and NIGMS. Specific questions pertaining to this solicitation can also be directed to the cognizant Program Officers."
The funding opportunity number is 19-547 (CFDA 47.075, 93.859). It was posted on Feb. 7 with an application closing date of May 8.
