Modes
of Support
STS Scholars
Awards
STS Scholars
Awards are the program's usual mode for supporting research projects.
Scholars Awards ordinarily support individual researchers for part
or all of an academic year, for summer research, or for some combination
of academic year and summer.
Grants
for Collaborative Research
STS also supports
research projects that require several investigators, or investigators
and advisors, or collaboration among principal investigators (PIs).
In preparing the budget for such collaborative projects, program
limits as described for scholars awards for salaries and other expenses
should be followed. For collaborative projects that also require
postdoctoral researchers or graduate student assistants, please
consider "Small Grants for Training and Research," below.
STS Fellowships
Two sorts of
fellowships are available: Postdoctoral Fellowships for scholars
within five years of the award date of their doctoral degrees, and
Professional Development Fellowships for more senior scholars.
Doctoral
Dissertation Research Grants
Doctoral Dissertation
Research Grants provide funds for research expenses not normally
available through the student's university. The dissertation advisor
is the principal investigator on these applications; the doctoral
student should be listed as coprincipal investigator. Dissertation
proposals should be prepared in accordance with the guidelines for
regular research proposals.
Small Grants
for Training and Research
Small Grants
for Training and Research (SGTR) are intended to provide sustained
research opportunities for a group of graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows on important issues in STS. Note: SGTR proposals will only
be considered in the Fall of each year.
Conferences
and Workshops
STS can help
to support national or international conferences, symposia, and
research workshops that enable scientists, engineers, researchers
in STS areas of support, policy makers, and representatives of interested
groups to develop, evaluate, and share new research findings.
