The opportunity to harness the world of big data and better navigate the complexity of science and technology wouldn’t be possible without our incredible donors. CSSI is fortunate to have the support of several amazing institutions and individuals who recognize the momentum, work and potential of this exciting new area of study.
In a DoD press release about the awards, Dr. Bindu Nair, deputy director of the Basic Research Office, said, “We live in a dynamic world, and many of the challenges we face are social or have social elements to them. Knowledge and methodologies generated from Minerva awardees are an important source of new ideas from the social science community to better understand the social aspects that are inherent to security and stability.”
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GRANT AND THE MINERVA RESEARCH INITIATIVEDashun Wang’s work on the science of collaborative research, as it relates to team success and failure, received a grant from the National Science Foundation. Under the Foundation’s Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) directorate, the grant supports interdisciplinary research and training in the social, behavioral and economic sciences, including SBE’s intersections with other science and engineering fields.
Dashun Wang received a grant from Northwestern University’s Data Science Initiative as the principal investigator researching the science behind why teams fail.
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) awarded Dashun Wang a grant as part of its Young Investigator Research Program (YIP), which supports scientists and engineers who show exceptional ability and promise. The program is designed to foster creative basic research in science and engineering, enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators, and increase opportunities to recognize the Air Force’s mission and related challenges in science and engineering.
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) awarded Dashun Wang and James Evans the DEEP project: Discovering the Extent of Estimable Prediction in Science and Technology (2015-2019).
We welcome new partnerships with donors and organizations interested in making philanthropic investments in this exciting field. Together, we will generate real impact by supporting the creation of knowledge and impactful discoveries.
