Human and Social Dynamics: Competition for FY 2006 The National Science Foundation seeks applications for Human and Social Dynamics (HSD). The HSD priority area fosters breakthroughs in understanding the dynamics of human action and development, as well as knowledge about organizational, cultural, and societal adaptation and change. The FY 2006 competition will include three emphasis areas: Agents of Change; Dynamics of Human Behavior; and Decision Making, Risk and Uncertainty. Support will be provided for full research projects and for shorter-term exploratory research and HSD Research Community Development projects. Deadlines: Feb. 14, 2006 (Exploratory Research Proposals, HSD Research Community Development Proposals), Feb. 21, 2006 (Full Research Proposals). WEB LINK. FedGrants, November 15, 2005. NSF Developmental and Learning Sciences Program The National Science Foundation invites applications for the Developmental and Learning Sciences program. This program supports studies that increase understanding of cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and biological processes related to children's and adolescents' development and learning. Additional priorities are to support developmental research that: incorporates multidisciplinary, multi-method, microgenetic, and longitudinal approaches; develops new methods and theories; examines transfer of knowledge from one domain to another and from one situation to another; assesses peer relations, family interactions, social identities, and motivation; examines the impact of family, school, and community resources; assesses adolescents' preparation for entry into the workforce; and investigates the role of demographic characteristics and cultural influences on children's development. The estimated number of awards is 18-28 per year, plus up to two additional awards for Integrative Research Activities for Developmental Science (IRADS). The DLS Children's Research Initiative Centers competition has been replaced by IRADS, with a single competition deadline of February 17, 2006. Deadlines: Feb. 17, 2006, Jul. 15 (annual).
