Grants for Researchers

U.S. National Science Foundation · $400K–$2M

Open to any type of entity (subject to NSF clarifications), the NSF RISBS program funds creation of computational tools and data infrastructure that enable basic social and behavioral science research, including major longitudinal surveys; it does not fund a PI's own research except in service of building the infrastructure. Awards range roughly from $400,000 to $2,000,000. In practice this large-award program is best suited to research institutions building shared data resources.
