High-Risk Research in Anthropology

http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2001/nsf01153/nsf01153.html

Anthropological research may be conducted under unusual circumstances, often in distant locations. As a result the ability to conduct potentially important research may hinge on factors that are impossible to assess from a distance and some projects with potentially great payoffs may face difficulties in securing funding. This program gives small awards that provide investigators with the opportunity to assess the feasibility of an anthropological research project. The information gathered may then be used as the basis for preparing a more fully developed research program. Projects which face severe time constraints because of transient phenomena or access to materials may also be considered.   This program is designed to permit the submission of high-risk, exploratory proposals that can lead to significant new anthropological knowledge.
Deadline: Continuous submits

The rate at which asymmetric threats evolve has increased the speed with which new systems and platforms must be produced and increased the need to distribute new technologies (e.g., upgraded body armor) to a larger number of troops. Ironically, at the same time, increased lethality of our modern weapon systems has resulted in a reduction of the number of large systems required to accomplish missions. Furthermore, when the cost of manufacturing spare parts is taken into consideration, it becomes clear that new approaches to defense manufacturing are critically needed to guarantee the future success of the military.
