This grant is for supporting doctoral dissertation research that advances the scientific basis of science and innovation policy. The Science of Science & Innovation Policy (SciSIP) program offers funding to develop models, tools, data, and metrics for science policy decision-making. Research topics include policy impacts on scientific contexts, evaluating returns on science/R&D investments, studying knowledge generation, and collecting new data for the scientific enterprise. This grant supports U.S. doctoral students, enhancing their dissertation work and contributing to fundamental scientific knowledge by integrating education and basic research.

| Description: | The Science of Science & Innovation Policy (SciSIP) program supports research designed to advance the scientific basis of science and innovation policy. Research funded by the program thus develops, improves and expands models, analytical tools, data and metrics that can be applied in the science policy decision making process. For example, research proposals may develop behavioral and analytical conceptualizations, frameworks or models that have applications across a broad array of SciSIP challenges, including the relationship between broader participation and innovation or creativity. Proposals may also develop methodologies to analyze science and technology data, and to convey the information to a variety of audiences. Researchers are also encouraged to create or improve science and engineering data, metrics and indicators reflecting current discovery, particularly proposals that demonstrate the viability of collecting and analyzing data on knowledge generation and innovation in organizations.
Among the many research topics supported are:
As part of its effort to encourage and support projects that explicitly integrate education and basic research, SciSIP provides support to enhance and improve the conduct of doctoral dissertation projects carried out by doctoral students enrolled in U.S. universities who are conducting scientific research that enhances basic scientific knowledge. |
