DIRECTORATE FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SCIENCES (SES)
Decision, Risk, and Management Science
The Decision, Risk, and Management Science Program Supports research that
explores fundamental issues in management science; risk analysis; societal
and public policy decisionmaking; behavioral decisionmaking; and judgment,
organizational design, and decisionmaking under uncertainty.
Research funded by the program is directed at increasing the understanding
and effectiveness of problem solving, information processing, and
decisionmaking by individuals, groups, organizations, and society.
Funded research must be relevant to an operational or applied context,
grounded in theory, based on empirical observation or subject to empirical
validation, and generalizable.
The program conducts a special joint NSF/private-sector initiative through
which NSF funding is matched by contributions from private firms to conduct
basic research that is firmly grounded in real, practical contexts.
