Environment, Society, and the Economy
(ESE)
CONTACTS
SYNOPSIS
The Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) and the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) seek to increase collaboration between the geosciences and the social and behavioral sciences by augmenting funding for interdisciplinary research related to Environment, Society, and the Economy. For more information, see the "Dear Colleague Letter" under "Additional Information." GEO and SBE will consider proposals that describe new research efforts relating to the integrated study of environment, society, and economics. Interdisciplinary teams of researchers are strongly encouraged. Projects are expected to involve researchers in the geosciences and social and behavioral sciences, but they may also include other disciplines. Prospective topics of interest in the general area of Environment, Society, and the Economy include, but are not limited to, the following: - Decision-making strategies related to ongoing or predicted global, regional, and local environmental changes;
- Economic and geosciences evaluation of technology and practices linked to climate change;
- Impacts and adaptation of economic systems;
- Pathways to successful application of geoscience research findings;
- Development and implementation of mitigation strategies within political and economic constraints;
- Interplay of environmental change and inequality of income, access to resources, etc.;
- Role of incentives in human behavior;
- Politics and economics of resource agreements;
- Environmental change and its impact on the evolution of human behavior; and
- Capacity building.
Relevant proposals must be submitted to an existing SBE or GEO program according to the program’s regular target or deadline dates. This is not a special competition or new program. Investigators are encouraged to indicate that their proposal was submitted in response to this DCL by including ESE in the title of the proposal.
