Law and Social Sciences Program

The National Science Foundation, more often known as NSF, is a United States government agency that mainly supports essential research and education in all the non-medical related fields of science and engineering.
The attempts of the National Science Foundation are aimed at realizing their mission, which is to "To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense."
In line with this particular mission, the NSF has constituted the Law & Social Sciences Program wherein it seeks to ask for proposals that could attend to social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules.
The Law & Social Sciences Program will be naturally interdisciplinary and multi-methodological. The guidelines of the program necessitates that in order for a proposal to be successful, it should contain research ideas that will advance scientific theory and the perception of the linkages between human behavior and laws or legal processes.
To make this happen, the proposal will need a dynamic approach that will concurrently accommodate multiple fields of studies, such as:
1. Crime, Violence and Punishment
2. Economic Issues
3. Governance
4. Legal Decision-making
5. Legal Mobilization and Conceptions of Justice
6. Litigation and the Legal Profession
The program also intends to simultaneously support proposals that aim to study historical, social, cultural and policy-related questions that concern the law.
The Law & Social Sciences Program is not just limited to funding proposals that happen to be entirely related to social scientific studies mainly because it can also be utilized for several other disciplines including anthropology, communication, criminology, economics, legal scholarship, political science, public policy, psychology, and sociology.
The National Science Foundation intends to administer up to $5,000,000 to 75 grant recipients under standard grants, continuing grants, or cooperative agreements.
The organizations and institutions which will be considered eligible to participate in the Law & Social Sciences Program are the following:
a) Standard Research Grants and Grants for Collaborative Research
b) Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowships: US Academic Institutions
c) Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants: US Academic Institutions
d) Conference and Workshop Support
The Law and Social Sciences Program is greatly crucial to the National Science Foundation for the reason that objectives and goals of the program are incredibly in keeping the agency's mission.
Furthermore, the program will also work as an instrument into the development of innovative studies that will help better the people's comprehension of the law and how it affects our daily lives.

A School Trip From Bermuda Takes a Science Tour of Orlando

Often teachers will approach me with a general idea for a trip to a certain destination. I work closely with educators to customize tours that reflect their curriculum and provide fun and interesting sites on the itinerary. Heather Stevens is school Coordinator for Overseas Educational Tours. She is a Para Educator for pre-kindergarten through fifth graders at Purvis Primary school in Bermuda. She needed guidance and ideas for an educational trip to Orlando. Stevens wanted her students to visit Walt Disney World, and engage in the study of science. Walt Disney World in Florida has some excellent science-focused educational programs in their Youth Education Series (Y.E.S.). There are some specific programs geared towards the science student: Synergy in Science (Epcot Center), Wild by Nature (Animal Kingdom), Seaworld Education Program and Physics - Energy & Waves (Magic Kingdom). Disney World exhibits are used as examples of the direct application of technology and science. Thi...

Saving Science And Technology - What Can You Do About It?

Science and technology is the backbone of world development. Countries that have enhanced science and technology are more developed compared to those that are yet to fully embrace it. This is the field that gives birth to the world's most important innovations and inventions leading to solutions which make life better for everyone. Without science and technology, it would be practically impossible for the world to be where it is. However, education is important to bring this into realization. It is only through education that individuals get to know who they are, what they do best and what to do to rise to their full potential. As a result of poverty, most children do not get the chance to rise even though they could be the world's next innovators and inventors to offer more solutions to different kinds of situations. The lack of quality education comes in the way of the children and what science and technology can do for them. Less fortunate countries or third world countr...
