SBES Data Discovery and Interoperability Awards

The Government seeks to fund an Offeror with an existing data-rich social, behavioral, and economic science (SBES) framework that can be optimized for data discovery and interoperability studies. This unique SBES framework and database will be used as a mechanism to design and administer competitive awards that shall fund discrete interoperability activities among the academic SBES community. Specifically, the award administration and funded activities must fulfill the following specific objectives:Fund metadata documentation and alignment work that demonstrably improves the discoverability of SBES datasets.Fund dataset integration proofs-of-concept that successfully demonstrate SBES data interoperability with meteorological or hydrological systems.Support the development of open-source tooling (e.g., Python packages or equivalent) that enables non-developers to access and use SBES datasets easily.Support data interoperability r
