The U.S. Congress established the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) in the Office of the Director, NIH, in recognition of the key role that behavioral and social factors often play in illness and health. The OBSSR mission is to stimulate behavioral and social science research throughout NIH and to integrate these areas of research more fully into others of the NIH health research enterprise, thereby improving our understanding, treatment, and prevention of disease.

http://ec.europa.eu/research/social-sciences/index_en.htm

Extractions: Social sciences and humanities, by their nature, enable us to understand the way in which societies are organised and governed and how they evolve and change. They also provide us the opportunity of better understanding human and social behaviour and of identifying the factors which contribute to the social, economic, political and cultural changes. Research in social sciences and humanities can provide solutions, for example, to the questions concerning the change of the living conditions, the current economic trends and migratory flows, the changes in work and in the roles of men and of women, the age of population, the need to have new forms of governance, the impact of multilingualism, values, religion, history, art, on the construction of Europe, etc. It plays therefore a fundamental role in the formulation and the implementation of the policies at all levels, including at European level.

http://www.dartmouth.edu/~writing/materials/student/soc_sciences/write.shtml

Extractions: Go back to: On this page: Humanites majors facing a Social Science paper are often struck by the very different methods required by these disciplines. In the Social Sciences, students are often asked to come up with a question, to develop an experiment that will expore that question, and then to report the findings of the experiment objectively. The "fun" in the Social Sciences is precisly in these methods. Social scientists make it their business to examine behavior - sometimes the behavior of an individual, other times the behavior of a system, society, or culture. Social scientists believe that careful observation of behavior will reveal patterns in that behavior, indicating that behaviors aren't random but are in fact driven by certain forces. For the social scientist, behavior is something that might be defined and understood. The Social Sciences address many of the questions that concern the Humanities (i.e. What is the nature of friendship?) But these scholars would not examine how the qualities of friendship are important to a fictional character, nor would they deconstruct ancient texts on Platonic love. Instead, the social scientist would consider how he might objectively measure some aspect of friendship. He might construct a study, for example, that indicates how economic or geographical conditions determine (or don't determine) the quantity and quality of friendships. Or he might survey individuals with an abundant circle of friends to see if they report better-than-average psychological health.

Extractions: See New Yorker some exciting scientific breakthroughs in our understanding of the role viruses have played in the evolution of the human species. Scientists are bringing extict viruses back to life by combining the pieces of viral DNA that millions of years ago was fused into the genome of animals. Read the story here William M. Newman and Walter Vincenti have published a very useful short essay in on how fields of engineering make progress by developing effective selection criteria for evaluating prototypes. The authors describe how human computer interface designers were able to learn from the history of aeronautical engineering in coming up with methodologies for devising useful selection criteria.

Did you ever stop to think that the social sciences have something to say about almost everything you do in your daily life?
http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~dssc/

Extractions: Lyn Ragsdale Did you ever stop to think that the social sciences have something to say about almost everything you do in your daily life? How new is your personal computer? Anthropologists at Rice have studied how elites and intellectuals set the pace for technological advances from the printing press to high speed computers. How much do you pay in taxes? Rice economists study the effects of different tax rates and structures on governments' abilities to provide services. Does it matter which kind of voting machine is used when you go into the voting booth? Rice political scientists examine how new electronic voting machines affect election outcomes and the reporting of those outcomes. How does your brain map what you have just read? Rice psychologists are answering questions about how the brain traces what you see and what you experience and what happens to those mappings if you become injured or have a stroke. How does race determine who you will date? Sociologists at Rice investigate how interracial exchanges and the lightness or darkness of people's skin affect marriage and other partnerships.
