funding opportunity

[Charles Maris]

Greetings, Colleagues, 

Who is interested in obtaining external funding to support their research? Check out Grant Forward on the ORSP website. 

I came across this and I thought it might be applicable to this Google Group. 

Take a look at this: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5423&WT.mc_id=USNSF_39&WT.mc_ev=click 

"The Decision, Risk and Management Sciences program supports scientific research directed at increasing the understanding and effectiveness of decision making by individuals, groups, organizations, and society. Disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, doctoral dissertation research, and workshops are funded in the areas of judgment and decision making; decision analysis and decision aids; risk analysis, perception, and communication; societal and public policy decision making; management science and organizational design. The program also supports small grants that are time-critical (Rapid Response Research - RAPID)and small grants that are high-risk and of a potentially transformative nature (EArly-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research - EAGER). For detailed information concerning these two types of grants, please review Chapter II.D of the NSF Grant Proposal Guide."

If this isn't the best fit, consider NSF's Operations Research here: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13341 

"The OR program supports fundamental research leading to the creation of innovative mathematical models, analysis, and algorithms for optimal or near optimal decision-making, applicable to the design and operation of manufacturing, service, and other complex systems. In addition to the traditional areas of Operations Research which includes discrete and continuous optimization as well as stochastic modeling and analysis, new research thrusts include simulation optimization and self-optimizing systems that can observe, learn, and adapt to changing environments."

Get in touch with ORSP at gra...@westga.edu if you have any questions or would like our assistance in preparing a proposal. 

PLEASE DO forward to colleagues who might be interested but are not yet on the Google Group. And then tell them to get on the Google Group!

toujours prêt, 

Charles
