Opportunity Summary:
The SBE Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (NSF Publication 14-595) are National Science Foundation grants offered through the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) to support early-career scholars pursuing postdoctoral research in SBE-relevant areas. The program is structured around two distinct fellowship tracks: Broadening Participation (SPRF BP), which focuses on expanding participation and inclusion within the social, behavioral, and economic sciences, and Interdisciplinary Research in Behavioral and Social Sciences (SPRF IBSS), which supports research that crosses disciplinary boundaries within or connected to the behavioral and social sciences. The solicitation notes that applicants should rely on the full program text for the detailed goals, expectations, and requirements associated with each track.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant mechanism in the federal "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" category, with an estimated total funding level of about $3,000,000 and an anticipated 16 awards. It is associated with CFDA number 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility operates at two levels: the submitting organization and the fellowship candidate. Proposals must be submitted by an eligible U.S.-based organization, not by the individual directly. Eligible submitting organizations include U.S. universities and colleges (including accredited two-year and four-year institutions such as community colleges with a U.S. campus) acting on behalf of their faculty members, as well as certain U.S. non-profit, non-academic organizations such as independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies, and similar entities tied to educational or research activities. The fellowship candidate, regardless of whether they are listed as PI, co-PI, or senior personnel on the application, must meet several personal eligibility requirements: they must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or legally admitted permanent resident as of the application deadline; they must have earned their doctoral degree within 36 months prior to the application deadline or be on track to receive the doctorate within 10 months after the deadline; and they must not already hold a full-time tenure-track faculty position.
The opportunity was originally posted on August 11, 2014, with an original closing date of November 10, 2014. Later cycles included a due date of October 26, 2015, and the solicitation indicates the deadline occurs on the last Monday in October annually thereafter (during the active period of the program). The opportunity has since been archived, with an archive date of November 25, 2020, meaning the specific solicitation is no longer active even though similar NSF programs may exist under newer solicitations.
For access issues, the solicitation points applicants to NSF Grants.gov support (grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov) for difficulties retrieving the announcement electronically or linking to the funding notice.
