Did you know that about three years ago, the National Science Foundation (NSF) renamed one of its research funding programs to include Communication in the title? Today, the aim of the Science of Science: Discovery, Communication, and Impact (SoS:DCI) Program is to support research that can increase the rate of socially beneficial discovery, improve science communication outcomes, and expand the societal benefits of scientific activity. The program will fund research that builds theoretical and empirical understandings of these areas. Proposal deadlines are rolling. The next deadline is September 11, 2023. To read more about the SoS:DCI program, funding areas, and application procedures, visit the NSF at https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505730
