An important message from NSF forwarded from Tom Janoski on SBE 2020: Future
Research in the Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences [sbe-2020@nsf.gov]
The message from NSF about the report and the Dec. 1 Webinar/Town Hall appears below.
Dear Colleague:
Just a year ago, we stopped accepting SBE 2020 white
papers. The papers were released to the
public in February and now we have completed a report, Rebuilding the Mosaic,
which briefly describes the process, some of the themes we identified, and the
programmatic implications of what we learned.
The report is available at: http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/sbe_2020/index.cfm,
and we expect to host a webinar/town hall on December 1. The login details are below.
All of your papers contributed to our thinking about the
future of research in the SBE sciences, and we continue to be amazed at and
grateful for your participation. I hope
that you will take a moment to read the report – all of the papers are listed
in Appendix 5. For the foreseeable
future, we also expect to maintain the website (http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/sbe_2020/index.cfm),
where the papers can be individually found and downloaded, since the report
cannot substitute for the many ideas that you have shared with us and with the
American people.
Although I have written to you before to express my
appreciation, one more time, let me say:
Thank you.
