National Science Foundation Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS) Program
The Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS) competition promotes interdisciplinary research by teams of investigators in the social and behavioral sciences. Emphasis is placed on support for research that involves researchers from multiple SBE disciplinary fields and that integrates scientific theoretical approaches and methodologies from many SBE disciplinary fields. Although the IBSS competition will consider any proposal that makes a compelling case that the research will enhance broader theoretical understanding across multiple social and behavioral science fields, social and behavioral science, researchers are especially encouraged to submit proposals for research on one of the following three broadly defined topics: Population Change; Sources and Consequences of Disparities; and Technology, New Media, and Social Networks.
