An informational webinar will be held on two dates, August 26th  and September 3rd, to review the requirements for proposal submission to the NSF program “DISES: Dynamics of Integrated Socio-Environmental Systems” (NSF 20-579). This is a revision of the solicitation formerly known as CNH2 and constitutes a standing interdisciplinary program supported by the NSF Directorates of GEO, BIO, and SBE (Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences). Proposals are due by November 16, 2020 and the lead program director this year is Richard Yuretich (EAR) ryuretic@nsf.gov.

The DISES Program supports research projects that advance basic scientific understanding of integrated socio-environmental systems and the complex interactions (dynamics, processes, and feedbacks) within and among the environmental (biological, physical and chemical) and human ("socio") (economic, social, political, or behavioral) components of such a system.  The program seeks proposals that emphasize the truly integrated nature of a socio-environmental system versus two discrete systems (a natural one and a human one) that are coupled.  DISES projects must explore a connected and integrated socio-environmental system that includes explicit analysis of the processes and dynamics between the environmental and human components of the system.

PIs are encouraged to develop proposals that push conceptual boundaries and build new theoretical framing of the understanding of socio-environmental systems.  Additionally, we encourage the exploration of multi-scalar dynamics, processes and feedbacks between and within the socio-environmental system.
