National Science Foundation "Science, Technology, and Society (STS)"

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:15:08 -0500

The NSF's "Science, Technology, and Society" (STS) program considers proposals for scientific research into the interface between science (including engineering) or technology, and society. STS researchers use diverse methods including social science, historical, and philosophical methods. Successful proposals will be transferrable (i.e., generate results that provide insights for other scientific contexts that are suitably similar). They will produce outcomes that address pertinent problems and issues at the interface of science, technology and society, such as those having to do with practices and assumptions, ethics, values, governance, and policy. The next deadlines are February 1 and August 1, 2012.

For more information, see the program webpage, or contact Christopher Tassava.

2012 NEH Summer Stipends

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:26:17 -0500

National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to scholars and general audiences in the humanities. Recipients of the $6,000 grants spend two months of full-time work producing articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly tools. The Summer Stipends program welcomes projects that respond to NEH’s new Bridging Cultures initiative, which focuses on cultures internationally or within the United States. Summer Stipends support projects at any stage of development. Since the College can only nominate two tenure-track or tenured faculty for Summer Stipends, all such faculty must submit applications to the College's internal selection process. (Non-tenure track faculty can submit applications outside of this process.)

Please contact Christopher Tassava at x. 5833 or ctassava for more information.

Deadlines: College - Tuesday, September 6; NEH - Thursday, September 29, 2011
