SPECIAL CALL DEADLINE: July 1st, 2007

ATTENTION ALL SOCIAL SCIENTISTS AND PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCHERS: 
NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ORIGINAL DATA COLLECTION VIA TESS!

The National Science Foundation, in cooperation with the Department of
Homeland Security, is funding opportunities for original data collection
for research that has potential relevance to the concerns of DHS. Three
broad substantive areas have been identified as relevant and likely
avenues for research: 

1.	Risk communication and its effects on disaster preparedness 
2.	Government and individual attributions of responsibility and
perceived responsiveness; and 
3.	Inter-group threat and cooperation 

Other areas of research with relevance to terrorism, disaster
preparedness, or related public health and medical issues will also be
considered. 

Data collection for these projects will be paid for and conducted with
the assistance of Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences
(TESS). As with other TESS applications, only a short, 5 page proposal
is required. 

TESS offers researchers opportunities to test their experimental ideas
on large, diverse, randomly selected subject populations, or on specific
subsamples of the population (based on geographic location,
demographics, or other criteria). For more information on this special
call or on TESS opportunities more generally, and for examples of TESS
studies completed in the past, please visit our home page at
www.ExperimentCentral.org. 

PLEASE NOTE: For those with other areas of interest, TESS continues to
fund data collection for survey-experimental work in all areas of the
social sciences, and for graduate student and faculty investigators in
all disciplines. These proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, and we
will continue accepting new proposals as our funding allows.
