Investing in Research Infrastructure in the Behavioral and Social Sciences
- Share to:
The topic of research infrastructure deserves a much more in-depth investigation than can be done given NSF/SBE's time constraints. This report, therefore, is limited to recommendations about process, rather than the many other important issues about research infrastructure. CBASSE's judgment is that the current process for the selection of infrastructure investment in the behavioral and social sciences at the National Science Foundation should be revised. At present, the selection process used by NSF for the evaluation and selection of infrastructure proposals in the behavioral and social sciences is the same as that for evaluating individual investigator proposals. Yet there are major differences between these two types of proposals in terms of purpose, effective duration, and outcomes. Accordingly, CBASSE recommends that NSF use a different process for the evaluation of infrastructure proposals:
