Research Collaborations and Mentorship of Sociolegal Scholars

该项目将支持国际研究合作组织(IRC)，这是由法律和科学研究人员组成的团体，负责各种社会法律研究项目。此外，该项目还将支持青年学者讲习班，该讲习班将培训和指导下一代社会法学学者。该项目将把一个跨学科的学者和研究人员小组与当前和前沿的理论、方法和政策方法联系起来，从而加强法律和科学学术。该项目将通过在法律和学会协会2022年年会上为学者参与研究提供支持，从而支持IRC的跨学科研究努力。研究中心的研究活动将建立在许多研究合作的基础上，这些研究合作已经产生了重要的科学发现，通过促进社会法律研究的几个跨学科和特定学科领域的知识和理解。此外，该项目还将汇集法律界的入门级学者，这将有助于指导、准备和指导下一代社会法学研究人员，进一步发展和推进法律和科学学者和学术。在这样做的过程中，该项目将把一批新的学者与更成熟的研究人员联系起来，从而提供网络和合作机会，同时促进社会法领域的未来。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will support International Research Collaboratives (IRCs), which are groups of law and science researchers organized to undertake various sociolegal research projects. As well, the project will support the Junior Scholars Workshop (JSW), which will to train and mentor the next generation of sociolegal scholars. The project will connect and engage an interdisciplinary group of scholars and researchers with current and cutting-edge theoretical, methodological, and policy approaches, thus enhancing law and science scholarship. This project will support the cross-disciplinary research endeavors of the IRCs by providing support for scholars to participate in them at the 2022 annual conference of the Law and Society Association. The research activities of the IRCs will build upon the many research collaborations that have produced important scientific discoveries by advancing knowledge and understanding in the several interdisciplinary and disciplinary-specific fields of sociolegal studies. As well, the project will bring together entry-level scholars at the JSW, which will serve to guide, prepare, and mentor the next generation of sociolegal researchers, further developing and advancing law and science scholars and scholarship. In doing so, the project will link a new cohort of scholars with more established researchers, thus providing networking and collaborative opportunities while fostering the future of the sociolegal field.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.
