Law & Social Sciences Program

The program also intends to simultaneously support proposals that seek to examine historical, social, cultural and policy-related questions that concern the law.

The Law & Social Sciences Program is not only limited to funding proposals that are solely associated with social scientific studies since it can also be utilized for several other disciplines including anthropology, communication, criminology, economics, legal scholarship, political science, public policy, psychology, and sociology.

The National Science Foundation plans to administer up to $5,000,000 to 75 grant recipients under standard grants, continuing grants, or cooperative agreements.

The organizations and institutions that will be considered eligible to take part in the Law & Social Sciences Program are the following:

a) Standard Research Grants and Grants for Collaborative Research

b) Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowships: US Academic Institutions

c) Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants: US Academic Institutions

d) Conference and Workshop Support

The Law and Social Sciences Program is greatly essential to the National Science Foundation because the goals and objectives of the program are very much in keeping the agency's mission.

Furthermore, the program will also serve as an instrument into the creation of new studies that will help better the people's understanding of the law and how it affects our day to day lives.
