This grant offered by the Defense Sciences Office at DARPA aims to fund innovative research proposals to develop new capabilities for experimental research in understanding emergent properties of human social systems. The Next Generation Social Science (NGS2) program seeks to revolutionize the social science research cycle, encouraging interdisciplinary participation from fields such as social sciences, physics, computer science, and biology. Proposals should not focus on incremental improvements but on fundamental reimaginings. Deadline for submissions is May 18, 2016.

| Description: | The Defense Sciences Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals to build a new capability (methods, models, tools, and a community of researchers) to perform rigorous, reproducible experimental research at scales necessary to understand emergent properties of human social systems. DARPA anticipates that the Next Generation Social Science (NGS2) program may require a fundamental reimagining of the social science research cycle and encourages participation from a wide and diverse combination of disciplines and skill sets – to include social sciences, but also physics, computer science, biology, game design, mathematics, and others. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in incremental improvements to the existing state of practice. |
