Opportunity Summary:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) grant opportunity titled "Interface between Computer Science and Economics and Social Sciences" (NSF Publication / Funding Opportunity Number 11-584) supports interdisciplinary research and education projects that genuinely sit at the boundary of computer science and the economics and social sciences. The central goal is to generate new knowledge that matters to both sides of that interface. In other words, proposals are expected to make meaningful intellectual contributions to computer science as well as to economics and/or the social sciences, rather than simply applying established tools from one field to produce results mainly in the other. Projects framed as straightforward applications, where computer science methods are used to solve an economics or social science problem without advancing computer science (or vice versa), are explicitly described as not being the program's focus.
The program is jointly associated with NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) directorate (three participating divisions) and the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) directorate through its Social and Economic Sciences (SES) division. It is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development and uses a standard grant funding instrument. The opportunity anticipated making around 20 awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $6,500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means proposers are not required to commit institutional funds as a condition of eligibility.
NSF invited submissions in two distinct project classes based on scope, budget, and duration. Small Projects could request up to $400,000 in total budget for projects lasting up to three years. Large Projects could request between $400,001 and $1,000,000 in total budget for projects lasting up to four years. The solicitation notes that additional detail on how NSF distinguishes these classes and what is expected in each can be found in Section II of the program description, which is part of the full solicitation text.
Eligibility was geared toward U.S.-based organizations engaged in research or education. Eligible applicants included accredited U.S. universities and colleges (including two-year and four-year institutions such as community colleges) applying on behalf of their faculty, as well as certain U.S. non-profit, non-academic organizations such as independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies, and similar entities connected to educational or research activities. The CFDA program areas tied to the solicitation were 47.070 (Computer and Information Science and Engineering) and 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences), reflecting the cross-directorate nature of the initiative.
The solicitation was posted on September 2, 2011, with a submission window that ran from November 21, 2011 through December 6, 2011, and proposals were due by 5 p.m. local time for the proposer organization on the closing date. For access issues related to the electronic announcement, NSF directed applicants to Grants.gov support via grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov, and the solicitation referenced an "Additional Information" link to NSF Publication 11-584 for the complete program requirements, proposal preparation details, and review considerations.
