COSSA Washington Update, February 9, 2010
The National Institutes of Health (Child Health, Cancer, Drug Abuse,
Aging, and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences) are
interested in supporting conference grants designed to develop
interdisciplinary research teams. The teams must include
investigators from the social and/or behavioral sciences, and may
include the life and/or physical sciences. The goal of the funding
opportunity announcement is to broaden the scope of investigation into
scientific problems, yield fresh and possibly unexpected insights, and
increase the sophistication of theoretical, methodological, and
analytical approaches by integrating the analytical strengths of two
or more disparate scientific disciplines while addressing gaps in
terminology, approach, and methodology. This program will allow
investigators from multiple disciplines to hold meetings in order to
provide the foundation for developing interdisciplinary research
projects.
