OBSSR, in collaboration with other NIH institutes, centers, and offices, is seeking applications to support the development of short courses focused on cutting-edge methodologies and analytics in behavioral and social sciences research (BSSR).
This request for applications aims to enhance education and training in innovative data collection and analysis techniques, big data applications, and underutilized research designs that are essential for advancing BSSR but are not widely available through existing programs.
The proposed educational programs should:
- Integrate transdisciplinary skills and approaches, ensuring broad applicability across various BSSR domains.
- Provide knowledge and skills essential for advancing BSSR and/or integrating BSSR with other scientific and technological fields.
- Focus on widely applicable research methodologies and analytical techniques rather than specific disease areas to support broader advancements in BSSR.
