Dear Colleagues,
NSF has just released a solicitation titled “Explosives and Related Threats: Frontiers in Prediction and Detection” that I want to bring to your attention. This solicitation actively encourages participation by the Social and Behavioral Sciences, including social psychology. Indeed, social and behavioral scientists can contribute significantly to our understanding of threats and our ability to predict and detect those threats. These contributions are essential and necessary to advance science in this area. As stated in the solicitation:
Social and Behavioral Science of Prediction. It is increasingly clear that explosives and related threats defy a completely technical solution. Research findings from psychologists, sociologists, cultural anthropologists, geographers and others can enhance our ability to respond, either through enhanced understanding of the threat leading to better prediction, or through enhanced understanding and usage of sensor data leading to better detection.
For full information please see the solicitation at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2007/nsf07528/nsf07528.htm .
