Title:                            Science of Organization (SoO)
Program:                     Organizations -- private and public, established and entrepreneurial, designed and emergent, formal and informal, profit and nonprofit -- are critical to the well-being of nations and their citizens. They are of crucial importance for producing goods and services, creating value, providing jobs, and achieving social goals. The Science of Organizations (SoO) program funds basic research that yields a scientific evidence base for improving the design and emergence, development and deployment, and management and ultimate effectiveness of organizations of all kinds. SoO funds research that advances our fundamental understanding of how organizations develop, form and operate. Successful SoO research proposals use scientific methods to develop and refine theories, to empirically test theories and frameworks, and to develop new measures and methods. Funded research is aimed at yielding generalizable insights that are of value to the business practitioner, policy-maker and research communities. SoO welcomes any and all rigorous, scientific approaches that illuminate aspects of organizations as systems of coordination, management and governance.

Summer Stipends are awarded to individual scholars. Organizations are not eligible to apply. Internal Guidelines: The campus may submit up to two nominations.  Interested applicants should prepare a project description (no longer than 3 pages) and email it as .pdf to ihr@ucsc.edu by September 1, 2013. A committee composed of three members of the participating divisions (Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences) will select the top two projects and send their recommendations to the Humanities Dean, the campus nominating official.  The nominees will be notified by September 10, 2013 and have until September 26, 2013 to complete and submit their NEH applications.
