NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows
A colleague from NSF shared this with me. This is a very broad, interdisciplinary call, and I imagine that a social scientist with the right interests would be a very strong candidate for this fellowship. Please feel free to contact me to initiative a proposal, or nominate a junior colleague, particularly one from a different discipline that you would be willing to mentor. The fellowship is aimed at junior faculty. I have highlighted particularly interesting phrases in
bold. The full announcement is at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504673
