The National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Law & Science Program offers grants for interdisciplinary, multi-methodological research. This program supports social scientific studies of law, legal institutions, and legal processes, and explores how science and technology are applied within legal contexts. Its purpose is to advance scientific theory and understanding of the connections between human behavior and law, or the interactions of law with basic sciences including biology, computer science, and engineering. Research areas include crime, cyberspace, economic issues, environmental science, forensic science, governance, human rights, and the ethical and regulatory aspects of emerging technologies. The program funds various proposal types, including standard research grants, collaborative research, doctoral dissertation improvements, and conference awards.

| Description: | The Law & Science Program considers proposals that address social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules, as wellas studies of how science and technology are applied in legal contexts.The Program is inherently interdisciplinary and multi-methodological.Successful proposals describe research that advances scientific theory and understanding of the connections between human behavior and law, legal institutions, or legal processes; or the interactions of law and basic sciences, including biology, computer and information sciences, STEM education, engineering, geosciences, and math and physical sciences.Scientific studies of law often approach law as dynamic, interacting with multiple arenas, and with the participation of multiple actors.Fields of study include many disciplines, and often address problems including, though not limited, to:
