Colleagues:

The new Mathematical Social and Behavioral Sciences (MSBS) Solicitation is
now available on the web at
http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf06531.  The proposal
due date is April 20, 2006.  Approximately $4.5 million has been designated
for new MSBS awards, subject to availability of funds.
This solicitation invites submission of research proposals for projects that
advance the mathematical or statistical foundations of research in the
social, behavioral, or economic sciences. The resulting research is expected
both to further understanding of social and/or behavioral science phenomena
and to address a topic of interest to the mathematical sciences.
Collaborations involving mathematicians or statisticians with social,
behavioral, or economic scientists are especially encouraged.
Proposals for workshops or symposia that foster the interaction of social,
behavioral, and/or economic scientists with mathematicians and/or
statisticians also are welcome.  An awards list for past MSBS competitions
is available at
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=11683&org=SES&from=home.
Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.
