Nsf cultural anthropology
Cultural anthropology scholars target dates:january 16 and august 16 annually for faculty scholars proposals: career proposals must conform to the annually announced nsf-wide career proposal , rapid, and small workshop proposals: eager, rapid, and small workshop proposals may be submitted at any time, with prior permission of the program and reu supplement proposals: march 1 annually. Reg and reu supplement proposals may also be submitted out of cycle, with prior permission of the program primary objective of the cultural anthropology program is to support basic scientific research on the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability.
Anthropological research spans a wide gamut, and contemporary cultural anthropology is an arena in which diverse research traditions and methodologies are valid. Recognizing the breadth of the field’s contributions to science, the cultural anthropology program welcomes proposals for empirically grounded, theoretically engaged, and methodologically sophisticated research in all sub-fields of cultural anthropology.
Because the national science foundation’s mandate is to support basic research, the nsf cultural anthropology program does not fund research that takes as its primary goal improved clinical practice or applied policy. Program research priorities include, but are not limited to, research that increases our understanding of:Socio-cultural drivers of critical anthropogenic processes such as deforestation, desertification, land cover change, urbanization, and ence and robustness of socio-cultural ct, cooperation, and y, culture, migration, and ility and change in kinship and family norms and al and social contexts of health and regulation, governmentality, and s of complexity in socio-cultural ge and culture: orality and literacy, sociolinguistics, and variation through empirically grounded ethnographic atical and computational models of sociocultural systems such as social network analysis, agent-based models, and integration of agent-based models with geographic information systems (gis).
General research the cultural anthropology program supports a broad portfolio of research by both senior scholars and by graduate students. All proposals must explicitly address both the intellectual merit and the broader impacts of the research in the one-page project doctoral dissertation research improvement grants (ddrig) program (see solicitation 15-556) supports doctoral dissertation research by anthropology graduate students enrolled at u.
Researchers may propose empirically grounded and theoretically engaged projects in any sub-field and theoretical area of cultural l guidelines. A good research proposal is interesting, clear, explicit, tightly integrated, and confidence faculty scholars program (see solicitation 07-544) supports methodological training for cultural anthropologists who wish to learn new skills that are needed as part of an ongoing research program.
For example, support may be requested to learn new methods of cross-cultural research, demography, remote sensing and gis, ecological field survey, linguistics, or modeling. There are no deadlines or target dates associated with these types of awards and the cultural anthropology program funding for them is rarely more than $25,000 including indirect ch experience for graduate students (reg) and reserch experience for undergraduates (reu) supplements.
Senior pis with current nsf awards, may request supplements to support closely mentored but independent research projects by undergraduates intending to pursue graduate work in anthropology or graduate students at the pre-dissertation phase of their education. See dear colleague letter nsf 16-044 for detailed information on preparing cultural anthropology reg and reu supplemental funding ops.
The cultural anthropology program supports the dissemination of the most current research tools available for social science research. Consequently, as budget permits, the cultural anthropology program funds a limited number of proposals for training workshops, short courses, and fieldwork programs, through the regular proposal review cycle.
The cultural anthropology program participates in this nsf-wide activity offering prestigious awards in support of the early development of academic faculty as both educators and researchers.
