About this opportunity

The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS), Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES), and Division of Science Resources Statistics (SRS) award grants to doctoral students to improve the quality of dissertation research. These grants provide funds for items not normally available through the student's university. Additionally, these grants allow doctoral students to undertake significant data-gathering projects and to conduct field research in settings away from their campus that would not otherwise be possible. Proposals are judged on the basis of their scientific merit, including the theoretical importance of the research question and the appropriateness of the proposed data and methodology to be used in addressing the question.In an effort to improve the quality of dissertation research, many programs in the Research on Science and Technology Surveys and Statistics Program within SRS accept doctoral dissertation improvement grant proposals. Items such as budget limitations, target dates and/or deadlines, page length restrictions, and review procedures vary widely across programs. Please consult the relevant program's webpage for specific information and contact the program director if necessary.The following Programs support dissertation research:Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS)ArchaeologyCultural AnthropologyGeography & Regional ScienceLinguisticsPhysical AnthropologyDivision of Social and Economic Sciences (SES)Decision, Risk & Management ScienceEconomicsLaw & Social StatisticsPolitical SocietySociologyDivision of Science Resources Statistics (SRS)Research on Science and Technology Surveys and Statistics ProgramFor a list of cognizant program officers for the programs listed above, please visit the SBE Doctoral Dissertation Contact List.
