EAGER: Innovation in Society Study Group

该奖项支持一个研究小组，该小组研究创新的社会和行为层面，因为它们与国家科学基金会的广泛使命有关。社会创新研究小组将为支持多个目标的方案投资提出可行的建议。最初的目标是促进与不同社区的接触，进行以使用为灵感的研究和早期干预，包括美国地理区域中显示出创新和经济增长潜力的社区。第二个目标是通过支持跨学科合作和纳入关于技术系统的新观点，特别是国家优先技术开发领域的新观点，促进跨技术的融合。该研究小组由来自社会、行为和经济科学的一系列跨学科从业者组成，还阐明了研究转化的机会，从原型到试点测试，到初创公司到广泛的创新传播，其方式包括广泛的利益相关者。该奖项扩大了对社区合作伙伴关系和研究翻译的见解，该奖项的产品包括简明的报告和公开可访问的出版物，这些出版物详细说明了该组织活动所产生的见解。广泛的目标是确定技术创新的社会、行为和经济驱动因素和后果，特别是那些当前投资的重点。为了实现这一目标，该小组汇集了来自社会、行为和经济科学的跨学科专业知识和观点。该奖项支持一系列活动，包括多个讲习班和合作机会，以促进建议的产生和传播。该奖项还支持通过纳入未被充分代表的人群和地理区域的见解来扩大科学参与度的努力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports an study group that examines the social and behavioral dimensions of innovation as they relate to the broad mission of the National Science Foundation. The Innovation in Society Study Group will advance actionable recommendations for programmatic investments that support multiple objectives. An initial objective is to promote engagement with diverse communities for use-inspired research and early-stage intervention, including communities in geographic regions of the United States that show untapped potential for innovation and economic growth. A second objective is to advance convergence across technologies by supporting interdisciplinary collaborations and incorporating new perspectives on technological systems, especially for national priority technology development areas. Composed of an array of interdisciplinary practitioners from across the social, behavioral, and economic sciences, the study group also elucidates opportunities for research translation, ranging from prototypes to pilot testing to startup firms to widespread innovation diffusion, in ways that include a broad range of stakeholders. Expanding on insights about community partnerships and research translation, the products of this award include concise reports and publicly accessible publications that detail the insights resulting from the group’s activities. The broad objective is to identify social, behavioral, and economic drivers and consequences of technological innovations, particularly those that are the focus of current investments. To realize this objective, the group embodies interdisciplinary expertise and perspectives from across the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. The award supports a complement of activities, including multiple workshops and collaborative opportunities to facilitate the production and dissemination of recommendations. The award also supports efforts to broaden participation in science by incorporating insights from underrepresented populations and geographic regions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
