Earlier this year, a colleague and I took a flyer on a grant application to the National Science Foundation Human and Social Dynamics program. We were one of the (many) unlucky losers. Apparently it turned out to be a bit of a stampede.
The program managers have tightened up the submission process to limit the number of applications. They've also conveniently collected the HSD grant recipients in one place, with links to abstracts. It's an interesting mix of stuff, all over the map in terms of projects combining social science and computing. I do note though that no project really intersects computing, media, and social behavior. Northwestern managed to land two fairly large grants one out of the Economics department, the other Mechanical Engineering. Congrats.
Your tax dollars at work!!
