To achieve the Secretary's vision, the Department of Defense (DoD) is piloting a
number of approaches for engaging the social science community. This
multi-pronged strategy will enable the Department to solicit a broad range
of proposals from the social science community and to leverage the expertise
and infrastructures of a wide range of existing mechanisms for funding basic
research.
At this time, Minerva has two complementary mechanisms for engaging the social science community.
In June, the Department of Defense (DoD) released a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA).
The Department of Defense (DoD) has also partnered with the National Science Foundation (NSF) on a solicitation for proposals for Minerva funding.
Information on both of these funding tracks can be found at the links below.
