  • National Science Foundation - National Institutes of Health NSF-NIH Interagency Initiative: Smart and Connected Health
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-13-041.html The goal of the Smart and Connected Health Initiative is to accelerate the development and use of innovative approaches that would support the much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on wellbeing rather than disease. Approaches that partner technology-based solutions with biobehavioral health research are supported by multiple agencies of the federal government including the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The purpose of this program is to develop next generation health care solutions and encourage existing and new research communities to focus on breakthrough ideas in a variety of areas of value to health, including but not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, decision support systems, modeling of behavioral and cognitive processes, as well as system and process modeling. This program requires multidisciplinary teams ready to address technical, behavioral and clinical issues ranging from fundamental science to clinical practice while advancing both fields simultaneously
  • NSF-12606 Expeditions in Training, Research, and Education for Mathematics and Statistics through Quantitative Explorations of Data (EXTREEMS-QED
The long-range goal of EXTREEMS-QED is to support efforts to educate the next generation of mathematics and statistics undergraduate students to confront new challenges in computational and data-enabled science and engineering (CDS&E). EXTREEMS-QED projects must enhance the knowledge and skills of most, if not all, the institution's mathematics and statistics majors through training that incorporates computational tools for analysis of large data sets and for modeling and simulation of complex systems.
Funded activities are expected to provide opportunities for undergraduate research and hands-on experiences centered on CDS&E (computational and data-enabled science and engineering); result in significant changes to the undergraduate mathematics and statistics curriculum; have broad institutional support and department-wide commitment that encourage collaborations within and across disciplines; and include professional development activities for faculty or for K-12 teachers.

The Cognitive Neuroscience Program seeks highly innovative and interdisciplinary proposals aimed at advancing a rigorous understanding of how the human brain supports thought, perception, affect, action, social processes, and other aspects of cognition and behavior, including how such processes develop and change in the brain and through time.
Full Proposal Deadline: Feb 1, Aug 1, 2012
The program encompasses a wide range of theoretical perspectives, such as symbolic computation, connectionism, ecological, nonlinear dynamics, and complex systems, and a variety of methodologies including both experimental studies and modeling.
Full Proposal Deadline: Feb 6 (Type I), Feb 21 (Type II), 2012
The issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, modeling cognitive processes, system and process modeling, and social and economic issues.
(Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability)
Concepts that underlie the science of sustainability include complex adaptive systems theory, emergent behavior, multi-scale processes, as well as the vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and resilience of coupled human-environment systems. … Conceptual frameworks for sustainability, including general theories and models, are critically needed for such informed decision-making.
  • Advancing Health Services through System Modeling Research
NSF, in collaboration with the Health Information Technology (IT) Portfolio at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), will accept and review investigator-initiated proposals that address systems modeling in health services research. The Service Enterprise Systems program in the Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) division of the Engineering Directorate will be the lead program on this interdisciplinary topic. Through this partnership, NSF and AHRQ look to foster new collaborations among health services researchers and industrial and systems engineers with a specific emphasis on the supportive role of health IT.

  • Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB)
Through the Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB) Program, NSF seeks to address fundamental technical and scientific issues that would support much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on wellbeing rather than disease. The issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, modeling cognitive processes, system and process modeling, and social and economic issues.

Replaces Document: NSF 09-559
Due November 11, 2011
  • The Social-Computational Systems (SoCS) program seeks to reveal new understanding about the properties that systems of people and computers together possess, and to develop theoretical and practical understandings of the purposeful design of systems to facilitate socially intelligent computing. By better characterizing, understanding, and eventually designing for desired behaviors arising from computationally mediated groups of people at all scales, new forms of knowledge creation, new models of computation, new forms of culture, and new types of interaction will result. Further, the investigation of such systems and their emergent behaviors and desired properties will inform the design of future systems.
