NSF Perception, Action & Cognition Research Grant Opportunity

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting proposals for its Perception, Action & Cognition (PAC) research program. - Government Buyer: - U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) - Scope of Opportunity: - Supports research on human perceptual, motor, and cognitive processes, emphasizing their interactions - Encourages empirically grounded, theoretically engaged, and methodologically sophisticated studies - Welcomes diverse methodologies, including computational modeling, as long as research expands explanatory theories of human perception, action, or cognition - Focus on human behavior in realistic scenarios and inclusion of varied subject populations - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Research outcomes should directly benefit society - Mandatory sharing of data and materials for funded research - Excludes proposals focused solely on neural activity mappings, clinical populations, or non-human animal behavior without clear human relevance - OEMs and Vendors: - Only the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is mentioned; no commercial OEMs or vendors - Products/Services Requested: - No specific products, part numbers, or quantities requested; this is a research grant opportunity

Description

The PAC program supports empirically grounded, theoretically engaged, and methodologically sophisticated research on human perceptual, motor, and cognitive processes and their interactions. It welcomes diverse perspectives and methodologies, including computational modeling aimed at expanding explanatory theories. The program encourages studies examining human behavior in realistic scenarios with varied subject populations and expects research outcomes to benefit society directly. Proposals primarily focused on neural activity mappings, clinical populations, or non-human animal behavior without clear human relevance may be returned without review.
