SESYNC FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES: THEMATIC PURSUITS
The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) is a new national
research center supported by the National Science Foundation through a grant to
the University of Maryland. SESYNC funds the world's leading social scientists,
natural scientists, and humanities scholars to travel to the Annapolis facility
and work intensively in small trans-disciplinary groups to advance fundamental
research on socio-environmental problems. Computational science is also
supported by the center.
SESYNC invites applications to support synthesis research projects ("Pursuits")
under the following new Themes<http://www.sesync.org/programs/research-themes>:
Theme 4: Globalization and Socio-Environmental Systems
SESYNC seeks proposals focused on the relationship between globalization and
socio-environmental diversity. The goal of this call for proposals is to
increase fundamental knowledge related to the interaction of social and
environmental systems as they respond to globalization. For more information:
http://www.sesync.org/themes/globalization-and-socio%E2%80%93environmental-systems
Theme 5: Water, People, and Ecosystems
SESYNC seeks proposals that integrate data and develop models (e.g.,
simulation, theoretical etc.) to enhance our understanding of the relationships
between the spatial and temporal variability of water, ecological systems, and
human welfare or behavior. This solicitation specifically focuses on the
intersection of these three components with implications for policy and
practice. For more information:

Applications are due no later than 5:00pm EST on JANUARY 25, 2013. Details and
application guidelines can be found here<http://www.sesync.org/node/181>.
