Support for NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science (re-post)

[Alia Dietsch]

For those in the U.S., see fwd below and consider cotacting your congresspeople to advocate for the program and, for academics, your units to raise awareness...

---------------

As stated by the SJDM President’s message a week or so ago, the 2027 budget request of the US President to Congress is $0 for the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences at NSF. This will affect not only the support of US researchers, but also the binational agreements and other international collaborations among researchers in behavioral, social, economic sciences.

I am sending a link to ask Congress to save the SBE at NSF from being eliminated. This was set up by the American Psychological Association.

You can read a short summary of what is happening in their page and towards the end of the page there is a link. Clicking the link gives you a pre-filled letter. Some customization is useful before sending it. To send to all your representatives all you have to do is to adjust letter a little, add your name, and click send. Very easy to do!

Maybe you can circulate with others in your networks. This is really bad right now for SBE… Congress needs to hear from everyone.

Note:
After 6 wonderful years of service as Director of Decision, Risk and Management Sciences at  NSF, I have rotated out and back at my home institution.

Sincerely, Claudia
