Potential Support for History of Science & Technology Collections
> Archivists having oversight of large collections of primary documents in
> the history of science and technology may be interested in the
> recently-announced National Science Foundation initiative, "Enhancing
> Infrastructure for the Social and Behavioral Sciences." This competition
> -- the second to be held under this title -- invites grant proposals for
> support for (among other activities) collecting and processing "case or
> historical records ... that will support broad-based investigations" --
> including research in the history, philosophy, and social studies of
> science and technology -- "into the most important scientific questions
> facing social and behavioral science in the next decade." The full text
> of the formal announcement of this competition (with all sorts of
> important administrative details) is most readily available on the World
> Wide Web, at <http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/ses/infra/start.htm>.

> The NSF Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) is
> sponsoring this competition and expects to receive (as a result of this
> announcement) a significant number of very high-quality proposals in all
> areas of the social and behavioral sciences, including Science &
> Technology Studies. SBE thus expects to make several large grants in
> response to proposals submitted by the deadline of August 4, 2000. (The
> last competition attracted over 100 proposals and led to six exceptionally
> large grants.)
