Cultural Anthropology Program

National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Social, Behavioral and

Economic Sciences (SBE); Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences

(BCS); The 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. Proposals are due January 15, 2016. For more information, visit

NSF.gov

Modeling Social Behavior

US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); National Institute of

Health (NIH); This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for developing and testing innovative theories and computational, mathematical, or engineering approaches to deepen our understanding of complex social behavior. This research will examine phenomena at multiple scales to address the emergence of collective behaviors that arise from individual elements or parts of a system working together. Emergence can also describe the functioning of a system within the context of its environment.

Often properties we associate with a system itself are in actuality properties of the relationships and interactions between a system and its environment. This

FOA will support research that explores the often complex and dynamic relationships among the parts of a system and between the system and its environment in order to understand the system as a whole. Proposals are due

November 5, 2015. For more information, visit grants.nih.gov

Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections

National Endowments for the Humanities (NEH); This Funding Opportunity

Announcement (FOA) supports projects that explore and implement sustainable preservation measures for large and diverse holdings of humanities materials that are designed to mitigate the greatest risks to collections rather than to meet prescriptive targets. The maximum award for planning grants is $40,000, for up to two years, with a possibility of an additional $10,000. Grants can be made for up to five years for implementation projects, with a maximum award of $350,000. Proposals are due December 1,

2015. For more information, visit neh.gov

Physical Sciences (MPS); This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports mathematical research in areas of science where computation plays a central and essential role, emphasizing analysis, development and implementation of numerical methods and algorithms, and symbolic methods.

The prominence of computation with analysis and ultimate implementation efficiency of the computational methods in the research is a hallmark of the program. Proposals ranging from single-investigator projects that develop and analyze innovative computational methods to interdisciplinary team projects that not only create and analyze new mathematical and computational techniques but also use/implement them to model, study, and solve important application problems are strongly encouraged. Proposal window is open between November 16 and December 1, 2015. For more information, visit

Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research

National Science Foundation (NSF); The Interdisciplinary Behavioral and

Social Science Research (IBSS) competition promotes the conduct of interdisciplinary research by teams of investigators in the social and behavioral sciences. Emphasis is placed on support for research that involves researchers from multiple SBE disciplinary fields and that integrates scientific theoretical approaches and methodologies from multiple SBE disciplinary fields.

Emphasis also is placed on the significance of expected intellectual contributions that are likely to yield generalizable insights and information that will enhance theoretical perspectives and advance basic knowledge and capabilities across multiple SBE disciplinary fields. Researchers are especially encouraged to submit proposals for research on one of the following three broadly defined topics: Population Change; Sources and Consequences of

Disparities; and Technology, New Media, and Social Networks. Proposals are due December 1, 2015. For more information, visit Grants.gov
