Description
The Science of Science: Discovery, Communication, and Impact (SOS:DCI) program is designed to understand the scientific research enterprise and increase the public value of scientific activity. The program pursues this goal by supporting basic research in three fundamental areas:
- How to increase the rate of socially beneficial discovery;
- How to improve science communication outcomes; and
- How to expand the societal benefits of scientific activity.
TheSOS:DCIprogram, which builds upon the formerSciSIPprogram, funds research that builds theoretical and empirical understandings of these three areas. With this goal in mind, proposals should:
- Develop data, models, indicators, and associated analytical tools that constitute and enable transformative advances rather than incremental change.
- Identify ethical challenges and mitigate potential risks to people and institutions.
- Provide credible metrics and rigorous assessments of their proposed project’s impact.
- Include robust data management plans, preregistration plans where appropriate, and related commitments that increase the usability, validity, and reliability of scientific materials.
