Human and Social Dynamics, Competition for FY 2004 (HDS)
NSF 04-537
http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?ods_key=nsf04537

Letter of Intent Due Date(s) (required):
      March 03, 2004

Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):
      March 30, 2004

Synopsis of Program:

      The Human and Social Dynamics (HSD) priority area aims to foster
      breakthroughs in knowledge about human action and development as
      well as organizational, cultural, and societal adaptation and
      change.  Such a transformation in basic understanding would
      parallel the explosion of knowledge about the physical and
      biological worlds that characterized the twentieth century.  HSD
      aims to increase our collective ability to anticipate the complex
      consequences of change; to better understand the dynamics of human
      and social behavior at all levels, including that of the human
      mind; to better understand the cognitive and social structures
      that create and define change; and to help people and
      organizations better manage profound or rapid change.
      Accomplishing these goals requires a comprehensive,
      multidisciplinary approach across the sciences, engineering, and
      education, including the development of infrastructure that can
      support such efforts.

      The FY 2004 competition will include three topical emphasis areas
      (Agents of Change; Dynamics of Human Behavior; and Decision Making
      and Risk) and three resource-related emphasis areas (Spatial
      Social Science; Modeling Human and Social Dynamics; and
      Instrumentation and Data Resource Development).  Support will be
      provided for research-focused, education-focused,
      infrastructure-focused, and exploratory projects.

NOTE:
This competition is an excellent funding opportunity for researchers in the
Data and Information Management (IDM)  area. A collaboration with
researchers in Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) is highly
recommended, as the SBE Directorate is playing the major role in this
activity. Since the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (the
home of the IDM Program) is contributing $3M to this competition, it would
be good to have an excellent return on this investment.
