The Department of Defense is offering research grants in human, social, cultural, and behavioral sciences to study and predict human behavior cross-culturally. This grant aims to build models and training capacity to understand motivations and influences underlying adversarial behavior, contested populations, and interactions with new populations. The research will utilize multidisciplinary approaches drawing from various social and human sciences to analyze influences exerted through media, communities, schools, and families. Researchers are encouraged to explore a wide range of disciplines including anthropology, sociology, psychology, genetics, and neuroscience. Application deadline is Jan 15, 2009.

| Description: | Science and technology investment in human, social, cultural and behavioral (HSCB) sciences is focused on building capability through the development of a knowledge base, building models, and creating training capacity in order to understand, predict, and shape human behavior cross-culturally. The need to understand the motivations and influences underlying adversarial behavior, behavior of contested populations, and populations with whom US Forces have not yet interacted, how they vary cross-culturally, and what is innately human behavior that extends across cultural boundaries is required at all levels of military operations. An understanding of these motivations and influences will be gleaned from inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches that draw on approaches and methods from a wide range of social and human/behavioral sciences including (but not exclusively) anthropology, sociology, linguistics, political science, theology, economics, history, criminology, psychology, cognitive sciences, genetics, mathematics, statistics and neuroscience. Understanding how these influences are exerted, through media, community, schools, familial ties, etc. is important. |
