Human Networks and Data Science

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Human Networks and Data Science" aimed at advancing research that enhances the understanding of human behavior through data and network science. This program seeks proposals that leverage dynamic and heterogeneous data to provide insights into individual and group behavior, with a focus on improving health, prosperity, and security. The grant has two tracks: one for developing data resources and analytic techniques (HNDS-I) and another for advancing core research in social, behavioral, and economic sciences (HNDS-R). The total estimated funding for this program is $8 million, with individual awards ranging from $10,000 to $1.2 million, and approximately 25 awards are expected to be made.
