The National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) directorate has issued a Dear Colleague Letter describing a new framework for the explanation of broader impacts in proposals submitted to SBE programs. As the DCL notes, "This "broader impacts framework" in no way alters NSF's existing criteria ‒ rather, it offers guidance on how to consider and convey broader impacts in ways that are easier for others to understand." If you are planning to write a proposal for NSF, you will want to review this letter carefully. Other directorates have not adopted this framework, but have acknowledged that it may provide proposal writers with a good way of framing their broader impacts narratives in other proposals. Please review the letter carefully, and let the Research Office know if you have any questions.

National Science Foundation Developmental Sciences Program
DS supports research that addresses developmental processes within the domains of cognitive, social, emotional, and motor development across the lifespan by working with any appropriate populations for the topics of interest including infants, children, adolescents, adults, and non-human animals. The program also supports research investigating factors that affect developmental change including family, peers, school, community, culture, media, physical, genetic, and epigenetic influences. Additional priorities include research that: incorporates multidisciplinary, multi-method, microgenetic, and longitudinal approaches; develops new methods, models, and theories for studying development; includes participants from a range of ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and cultures; and integrates different processes (e.g., memory, emotion, perception, cognition), levels of analysis (e.g., behavioral, social, neural), and time scales.
Full proposal deadline: 7/15/2021
National Endowment for the Arts: Research Grants in the Arts
Research Grants in the Arts support research studies that investigate the value and/or impact of the arts, either as individual components of the U.S. arts ecology or as they interact with each other and/or with other domains of American life. Applicants may propose research projects that focus on quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed-method approaches using data gleaned from primary or secondary data. Sources may include but are not limited to, surveys, censuses, biological or medical experiments, observations, interviews, focus groups, social media activity, administrative data, and transactional/financial data. Other examples of data sources include archived materials such as written documents, audio/video recordings, or photographs and images.
