The NISTH Seed Grants, seek interdisciplinary collaborative projects that measure, adopt, deploy, evaluate and develop scientific and technological systems and software, combined with social science and humanities. Thus far, we have launched three successful grants for established researchers and have just launched the inaugural grant for Early career researchers.

The Seed Grant's objective is to support:

• Interdisciplinary collaboration between the technical and the social sciences and humanities that have a high potential to lead to findings with a societal impact;
• feasibility studies that lead to larger scale Academic-Industry-Government collaboration aimed at the assessment and adoption of technological interventions and
  
• the development of a larger grant proposal in the direction of the proposed research.
