Description
This funding opportunity, jointly offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), supports research that advances the scientific basis of science and innovation policy, with a focus on the biomedical research enterprise. The program seeks projects that develop models, analytical tools, data, and metrics to inform science policy and workforce development within biomedical research. Interdisciplinary and collaborative research, as well as efforts to broaden participation in STEM, are especially encouraged. Proposals should aim to provide actionable insights into the structure, dynamics, and productivity of the biomedical research enterprise to foster a diverse, innovative, and efficient scientific workforce.
