EAGER: Workshop on Shared Infrastructure for the Social and Behavioral Sciences

ENGER：社会和行为科学共享基础设施研讨会--密歇根大学罗伯特·M·格罗夫斯SBE 0930160摘要该项目涉及将于2009年春季举办的一个研讨会，以满足社会和行为科学共享基础设施的需求。研讨会解决了一个根本问题：哪些对人类理解非常重要的社会和行为科学问题现在无法得到回答，因为研究人员没有必要的基础设施来回答这些问题？基础设施需求涉及数据需求和令人满意的方法工具。研讨会的重点是人类科学家如何建立所需的基础设施。这个项目的参与者被选为代表单个研究领域的前沿的研究人员。观点既包括新的、大胆的倡议，也包括对当前人类科学领域成熟的思考的关键需要的补充。这一讲习班的成果是列出了可以用新的基础设施来回答的关键问题，并用一种在总干事局所代表的SBE学科中都能理解的语言进行了阐述。这一结果可能具有变革性，因为这一讨论对在人文科学的所有子领域进行社会和行为研究的研究人员具有广泛的影响。

EAGER: Workshop on Shared Infrastructure for the Social and Behavioral SciencesRobert M. GrovesUniversity of MichiganSBE 0930160AbstractThis project involves a workshop to be mounted in the spring of 2009 to address the shared infrastructure needs of the social and behavioral Sciences. The workshop addresses the fundamental question: What social and behavioral scientific questions of great import to human understanding cannot now be answered because researchers do not have the needed infrastructure to answer them? The infrastructure needs involve data needs and satisfactory methodological tools. The focus of the workshop centers on how human scientists can build the needed infrastructure.Participants in this project are chosen to represent researchers at the cutting-edge of individual lines of inquiry. Viewpoints involve both new, bold initiatives, and key needed additions to well established thinking about current human science domains. The product of this workshop is a listing of key questions that can be answered with new infrastructure, explicated in a language that can be understood across the SBE disciplines represented in the Directorate. The results are potentially transformative because the discussion has broad impact for researchers doing social and behavioral research across all subfields of the human sciences.
