Law & Social Sciences: The Law & Social Sciences Program considers proposals that address social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules. The Program is inherently interdisciplinary and multi-methodological. Successful proposals describe research that advances scientific theory and understanding of the connections between law or legal processes and human behavior. Social scientific studies of law often approach law as dynamic, made in multiple arenas, with the participation of multiple actors. Fields of study include many disciplines, and often address problems including though not limited to:

Crime, Violence and Punishment
Economic Issues
Governance
Legal Decision Making
Legal Mobilization and Conceptions of Justice
Litigation and the Legal Profession

LSS provides the following modes of support:

Standard Research Grants and Grants for Collaborative Research
Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants
Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowships
Workshop and Conference Awards

LSS also participates in a number of specialized funding opportunities through NSF’s crosscutting and cross-directorate activities, including, for example:

Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Research at Undergraduate Institutions (RUI)
Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID)
Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER)
