NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION NSF SOCIETAL DIMENSIONS PROGRAM REMINDER
The next target date for proposals to the Societal Dimensions of Engineering, Science, and Technology (SDEST) program is August 1, 2000. The Societal Dimensions program includes Ethics and Values Studies (EVS) and Research on Science and Technology (RST). EVS focuses on improving knowledge of ethical and value dimensions in science, engineering, and technology. RST focuses on improving approaches and information for decision making about investment in science, engineering, and technology.
The announcement (NSF99-82) can be accessed at http://www.nsf.gov:80/cgi-bin/getpub?nsf9982; suggestions for applicants and information about prior awards are available at http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/ses/sdest/start.htm.
Applicants to SDEST using the NSF electronic application system, FastLane, will find the program listed under EVS and RST, not SDEST. On the cover page, you should select the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), the Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES), and then one or the other program component
On October 1, 2000 the National Science Foundation will begin to REQUIRE (with some minor exceptions) ALL proposals prepared for NSF consideration to be submitted via FastLane. Investigators planning to submit proposals to SDEST in August should take steps to comply with this requirement by making contact with their institution's Sponsored Programs Offices WELL IN ADVANCE of the program's summer target date of 8/1/2000. ALL researchers with institutional affiliations should use FastLane. Individual applicants should contact FastLane well in advance also, to determine precise mechanisms for applying without institutional affiliation.
For further information about FastLane and this requirement, please consult the FastLane Website, http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov; or Gail Williams of NSF's Division of Information Services (gwilliam@nsf.gov); or Philip Johnson, SBE Computer Specialist pxjohnso@nsf.gov). For information about the SDEST program, contact Program Director Rachelle Hollander, rholland@nsf.gov. For information about SDEST dissertation awards, contact Program Director John Perhonis, jperhoni@nsf.gov.
There are several other programs at NSF that applicants to SDEST might be interested in. SDEST encourages faculty with recent PhDs who are in a tenure track appointment to apply to SDEST through the CAREER program; the new guidelines are available at http://www.nsf.gov/home/crssprgm/career/guide.htm The CAREER deadline for proposals to SBE is July 27.
There is a Web page specifically devoted to the SBE Infrastructure competition, linked to from both the BCS and SES Division Web pages. The URL is http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/ses/infra/start.htm. This Web page has a link to the Program Announcement, and also links to each of the 6 projects funded under the first SBE Infrastructure competition. The deadline is August 4.
The Dear Colleague Letter (NSF 00-77) http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?nsf0077 announces the Special Emphasis on the Underrepresentation of Women & Minorities in the IT Workforce (ITW) proposal competition. The proposal deadline is June 22. Rachelle D.
