1 DISCIPLINARY AND INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AT NSF Myron Gutmann Leah Nichols COSSA Colloquium 2012 November

2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dave Newman, University of California, Irvine Julia Lane, American Institutes for Research (previous SciSIP Program Director) Science of Science (Sci 2 ) Tools. Indiana University and SciTech Strategies, Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) Program Amber Story, Amy Friedlander, and many others at NSF 2

3 STARTING POINTS Science increasingly operates at intersections Most significant societal problems cannot be solved inside a single disciplinary framework Health, energy-environment, education, etc. Broad recognition of need for change within government, universities, media Lots of change is underway 3

4 Future research in the SBE sciences will be multidisciplinary, collaborative, data intensive, and frequently problem oriented. 4 4

5 TWO KEY DISTINCTIONS Science as a representation of an interaction of Ideas People Institutions (sponsors, journals, departments, labs, centers, universities) Interdisciplinarity at NSF as a reflection of Concepts in proposals Investments by programs/divisions/directorates through co-funding 5

6 6 BACKGROUND: HOW NSF STRUCTURES ITS ACTIVITIES Core Disciplinary Programs Economics, Political Science, Sociology Multi-Disciplinary Programs Decision, Risk, and Management Science (DRMS), Science and Technology Studies (STS), Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) Targeted Interdisciplinary Programs Dynamics of Coupled Natural Human Systems (CNH), Methodology, Measurement, and Statistics (MMS) Open Ended Interdisciplinary Programs INSPIRE, Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, Interdisciplinary Research in Behavioral & Social Sciences

7 METHODS: DATA 14,225 Awards in SBE s portfolio, NSF Budget Data NSF Topic Model (Portfolio Explorer) 7

8 METHODS: COFUNDING ANALYSIS Research directorates and SBE Core Programs equated with disciplines IDR inferred when award is funded by more than one directorate or program Degree of interdisciplinarity calculated by weight of contributions from each directorate or program Non-Disciplinary Specific = Non-research or interdisciplinary directorates and offices 8

9 PROGRAM COFUNDING: (BY AWARD COUNT) 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% None None None None None None 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 9 External External External Perception, Action and Cognition Decision Risk & Management Science Economics Program Geography and Spatial Sciences External Sociology Political Science

10 METHODS: TOPIC MODEL ANALYSIS (I) Topic Model: Statistical text-mining extracted 1,000 latent categories from NSF awards and proposals Topics classified into disciplines according to normalized frequency of appearance in each directorate or SBE program. IDR inferred when the topic tags on an award fall into more than one discipline Degree of interdisciplinarity in each award calculated by weighting disciplines by topic tag 10 order

11 METHODS: TOPIC MODEL ANALYSIS (II) Non-disciplinary specific = topics found with similar frequency in multiple directorates (e.g. Hypothesis, Imaging, Students) SBE Non Specific = Topics found predominantly in SBE, but with similar frequency throughout SBE s Programs (e.g. Public Policy, Gender) 11

12 $ (Billions) Disciplines in the SBE Portfolio: (by funding amount) Engineering CISE Biology SBE Not Disciplinary Specific Geosciences Engineering CISE Biology SBE Lots of scientific interaction *** More when measured by words than institutional arrangements Biology SBE Not Disciplinary Specific Physics Mathematics Material Sciences Geosciences Engineering Computer and Information Sciences Chemistry Biology 0 Cofund Analysis (SBE + Cofund $) $4.2 Billion Topic Model Analysis (SBE + Cofund $) $4.2 Billion Topic Model Analysis (SBE $ Only) $2.4 Billion Astronmoical Sciences SBE 12 14,225 Awards for all three analysis

14 Interdisciplinarity by Award Size in the SBE Portfolio: (by award count) 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Topic Model Analysis None None None External External External Small Medium Large IDR Type None External 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Cofund Analysis None None None External External External Small Medium Large Award Size Definition % of portfolio (by count) Small < $100,000 50% Medium $100,000-$500,000 43% Large > $500,000 7% Includes full SBE Portfolio: 14,225 awards Award Size (based on full awarded amount) IDR Type: None = Single Discipline = More than one SBE discipline External = At least one non-sbe discipline

21 CONCLUSIONS Developing a single measure for interdisciplinarity masks the complexity of the concept. By any measure, the SBE portfolio is highly interdisciplinary. The topic model tool provides a novel way to assess IDR in the textual content of award proposals. Cofunding reflects IDR, but is affected by institutional realities. It underestimates IDR, especially in small- and medium-sized awards. 21

22 SO WHAT IS A DISCIPLINE? A set of topics to be studied, or a specific set of theoretical or methodological approaches? Research done by people in a specific departments? Research that can be funded by a specific NSF program? Research that is acceptable for publication in specific journals? 22 and what do we want disciplines to be in an evolving scientific world?

23 Thank You! 23
