The U. S. Department of Defense Minerva Research Initiative is a university-based social science basic research program that seeks to build deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and political dynamics that shape regions of strategic interest around the world.
The Initiative has posted a “save-the-date” notice that the 2012 Minerva Conference will be held September 13-14 in Washington, D.C.
The program intends to release a new Broad Agency Announcement this summer for a 2012/2013 competition, with similar but updated topic tracks to the 2011/2012 competition.
