I am posting this exciting new NSF funding opportunity on behalf of my NSF colleague Peter Muhlberger. See his contact information at the end of this message.
Cheers,

The National Science Foundation has announced a new program called Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC). The program is open to receiving grant proposals and has a special interest in Social, Behavioral, and Economic sciences (SBE) science research.
The program is managed by three Directorates at the NSF, the Social, Behavioral, and Economic sciences (SBE), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI). Computer science and applied SBE science work should be submitted to CISE. Proposals that facilitate a transition from research to practice should be submitted to OCI. Proposals which both contribute to cybersecurity and advance basic SBE science research should be submitted to SBE. Proposals can also be submitted to multiple Directorates and co-reviewed if appropriate.
Successful SBE submissions will involve contributions to rather than applications of the SBE sciences. SBE-submitted SaTC proposals should help develop new knowledge or methods that contribute to the SBE sciences, while helping to develop a secure and trustworthy cyberspace. In addition, SBE / SaTC is interested in proposals for workshops and other intellectual engagements that may advance SBE science efforts in the cybersecurity field.
You can learn more about the SaTC program via our solicitation:
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12503/nsf12503.htm
We are holding a Webinar this Friday, Dec. 2, 1pm EST, to further describe the program and answer questions about it. If you are interested, please register, ideally by end-of-day Dec. 1, at the following URL. Registration is partly manual, so do not expect immediate acceptance. If requests exceed capacity, some requests will be denied. After your registration is accepted, you will get an email with a URL to join the Webinar.
https://mmancusa.webex.com/mmancusa/j.php?ED=17189938&RG=1&UID=0&RT=MiMxMQ%3D%3D
We will also be releasing a FAQ about the SBE portion of the program shortly.
Finally, we are seeking to hold online and face-to-face events to introduce social scientists and computer scientists to each other and their work, offering an opportunity to network and to identify potential collaborations. These events will take place after proposals are due for the current solicitation, but may be useful for any planned 2013 submissions.
If you are interested in being contacted about the SaTC program and any of these future events, please email Matt Pines at mpines@nsf.gov. Please include your name, the email address at which you would like to be contacted, your academic field, and your professional affiliation. He will add you to our mailing list for SBE / SaTC, and you will receive notice of these future events.
Please feel free to share this email with anyone who might be interested in the program. Similarly, please contact me if I can provide any additional information about the program.
I look forward to seeing your submissions.
Regards,
Peter Muhlberger
Program Director, SBE / SATC
