Opportunity Information: Apply for 19 608
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), is offering the Human Networks and Data Science - Infrastructure (HNDS-I) grant opportunity to support the creation of large-scale, next-generation data resources and related analytic techniques that can move fundamental SBE research forward. The core idea is to fund projects that do more than pilot concepts: awardees are expected to build usable, user-friendly infrastructure products (such as databases, data platforms, or broadly applicable analytic methods) that researchers can actually adopt to enable new kinds of data-intensive work in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. NSF is looking for infrastructure that meaningfully expands what researchers can study and how they can study it, with impacts that cut across multiple fields or substantially advance a broad disciplinary area.
HNDS is organized as a two-track program focused on human networks, with this specific solicitation covering the infrastructure track. The broader HNDS program emphasizes data science approaches that can help researchers understand human networks in their many forms, using dynamic, distributed, and heterogeneous data to address fundamental questions about individual and group behavior. Within that framing, HNDS-I supports the underlying resources and techniques that make such research possible at scale, for example by enabling integration of complex datasets, improving access and usability, or providing new analytic capabilities tailored to networked human behavior. NSF also signals strong interest in infrastructure that can help generate data-rich insights relevant to major societal goals, including improved health, prosperity, and security, while still maintaining the program's emphasis on advancing foundational scientific understanding.
This HNDS-I solicitation replaces NSF's earlier RIDIR program (Resource Implementations for Data-Intensive Research in the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences), effectively continuing and refocusing that line of support under the human networks and data science umbrella. In parallel, NSF describes a second track, HNDS Core Research (HNDS-R), intended for projects that use data science to produce new scientific understandings of human networks, particularly those that can improve outcomes related to important societal opportunities and challenges. While HNDS-R is not the subject of this specific solicitation, NSF highlights that future core research proposals are encouraged to make innovative use of HNDS infrastructure, reinforcing that the infrastructure awards are meant to serve as enabling foundations for a wider research community.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary NSF grant opportunity in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category (CFDA 47.075). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full solicitation. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 19-608) was created on September 22, 2019, with an original closing date of February 24, 2020. NSF anticipated making around 4 awards, and the listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in the summary record and applicants should consult the full program solicitation for budget guidance, scope expectations, and any limits tied to project type or duration.
In practical terms, a competitive HNDS-I proposal is one that clearly defines a data resource and/or analytic technique to be built, explains why it is genuinely next-generation and broadly enabling for SBE research on human networks, and demonstrates a credible plan to deliver a finished, adoptable product within the award's resources. The strongest fit is infrastructure that unlocks new research questions or new scales of analysis, rather than tools or datasets that remain narrow, difficult to use, or confined to a single small research niche.Apply for 19 608
