Trans-Atlantic Platform Call on Democracy, Governance and Trust
The Trans-Atlantic Platform for Social Sciences and Humanities (T-AP) has released a new call for proposals. The T-AP call on Democracy, Governance and Trust (DGT) seeks to understand how democracy, governance and trust are integral to tackling both short-term crises and long-term challenges and are themselves a focus of the discontent and disruption facing many societies.
The Trans-Atlantic Platform for Social Sciences and Humanities is a collaboration between humanities and social science research funders from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. T-AP aims to enhance the ability of funders, research organizations and researchers to engage in transnational dialogue and collaboration. T-AP works to identify common challenges and promotes a culture of collaboration in social science and humanities research by offering joint research calls in areas of strong potential for international collaboration. The platform facilitates the formation of networks within the social sciences and humanities and promotes interdisciplinarity. T-AP also strives to heighten awareness of the role the social sciences and humanities play in addressing 21st century challenges.
Proposals requesting NSF funding must fit within the scientific purview of the NSF Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). Proposers are strongly encouraged to consult SBE’s programs and contact the T-AP program director to discuss their proposals’ fit within NSF and SBE’s purview prior to submission of the international team proposal to any T-AP call. Details about the call and how to apply are posted on the T-AP website.
