exciting program. Rod Little

NSF10-621- The NSF-Census Research Network  (NCRN)

NSF FULL PROPOSAL DEADLINE: February 16 ,2011

ANNOUNCEMENT available at : http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10621/nsf10621.htm
NSF 10-621

Synopsis of Program:

The NSF-Census Research Network will provide support for a set of 
research nodes, each of which will be staffed by a team of scientists 
conducting interdisciplinary research and educational activities on 
methodological questions of interest and significance to the broader 
research community and to the Federal Statistical System, particularly 
the U.S. Census Bureau.  The activities will be expected to advance 
both fundamental and applied knowledge as well as further the training 
of current and future generations of researchers in research skills of 
relevance to the measurement of economic units, households, and persons.

The NSF-Census Research Network (NCRN) seeks to support a set of 
research nodes that will conduct long-term, interdisciplinary 
methodological research and educational activities on issues relevant 
for the production of data and related statistics.  The goals of this 
funding opportunity are as follows:

  1.  Establish a set of complementary research programs that advance 
the development of innovative methods and models for the collection, 
analysis, and dissemination of data in the social, behavioral, and 
economic sciences.

  2.  Relate fundamental advances in methods development to the 
problems of the Federal Statistical System, particularly the U.S. 
Census Bureau.

  3.  Facilitate the collaborative activities of scientists from 
across multiple disciplines, including the social, behavioral, and 
economic sciences, the statistical sciences, and the computer sciences.

  4.  Foster the development of the next generation of researchers in 
research skills of relevance to the measurement of economic units, 
households, and persons.
