NSF / SBE Research Opportunity Awards The Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE)announces a special emphasis on Research Opportunity Awards (ROAs). ROAs are a component of the Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) program. ROAs enable faculty members at predominantly undergraduate institutions to pursue research as visiting scientists with NSF-supported investigators at other institutions. The spirit of the ROA is to allow for more interchange between all researchers and to provide for special collaborations. The Cross-Directorate Activities Program in SBE has set aside funds specifically for this special emphasis and is accepting ROA supplement requests. There are two deadlines: May 15, 2001 and January 15, 2002. For specific information abut the goals of this special emphasis, and preparing an application, go to http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?nsf0174. Applications must follow the guidelines in the RUI Program
Announcement, NSF 00-144 As stated in the RUI Program announcement, requests for ROA supplements are submitted to NSF by the host institution. Faculty members interested in becoming ROA visiting researchers make their own arrangements with NSF-supported investigators. Alternatively, the PI of an ongoing NSF research grant may initiate an ROA collaboration. For additional information on how to find a collaborator please see the section "Finding a Collaborator." Please refer to the RUI Program Announcement for information regarding RUI eligibility. Faculty members who wish to become ROA visiting researchers must be from RUI-eligible institutions. Any institution with an SBE-funded principal investigator (RUI or non-RUI) is eligible to be a host institution. Finding a Collaborator The NSF RUI website (http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/crssprgm/rui/connections.shtm)
contains information, summarized below, on how to find a collaborator. Third, the SBE Cross-Directorate Activities Science Assistant
Kristin Raymond will keep a listing of RUI faculty and NSF grantees looking
for research partnerships. If you would like to be added to the list of
people looking for matches or if you need assistance in finding a match,
please e-mail her at kraymond@nsf.gov
briefly stating your research interests and areas.
