This $160,000 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the neural basis of social influence perception. Under the sponsorship of Drs. Shari Liu, Marina Bedny, and Tianmin Shu at Johns Hopkins University, the fellowship supports an early-career scientist who will use behavioral and neuroimaging methods to examine how the brain processes information about physical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $320,000 in funding to Northeastern University to conduct research on the neurocognitive development of adolescent learning. The goal is to understand the cognitive and brain mechanisms related to learning from experience, and how these change from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. The project will use behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $625,000 will fund research into the brain network mechanisms underlying task-general cognition and intelligent human behavior from September 2022 to August 2025. Under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Rutgers University, Newark will investigate how dynamic activity flows within cognitive control networks implement intelligent goal-directed behavior across diverse tasks. Researchers will utilize brain...
This $156,019 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research conducted by the University of California, Irvine to develop conformable, expandable neural interface devices capable of monitoring brain activity in developing rodents as they engage in naturalistic behaviors. The goal is to identify neurophysiological signatures associated with the emergence of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the acquisition of a mobile, integrated behavior-brain-physiology capture system for neurodevelopment research at the University of South Carolina. The $638,803 grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will enable a cross-disciplinary team to develop novel algorithms for automated behavioral estimation, examine neural mechanisms of attention and social interaction,...
This Project Grant award for $500,000 was issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports research to investigate the computational and neural mechanisms underlying social learning in social networks. The project aims to identify the fundamental principles and brain systems involved in how people acquire knowledge by observing others within their social networks, in addition to learning from their own...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Effects of Individual Experience on Population Social Structure: Integrating Development, Gene Expression and Social Ecology." The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research from March 2022 to February 2024 in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The goal of the Biological Sciences program is to promote advancement in the biological sciences and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $473,296 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The award supports research examining the evolution of metabolism in the primate brain at the cellular level. Investigators will use advanced techniques to transform human and non-human primate cells into neurons...
This $809,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to better understand the role of inhibitory neurons in predictive processing within the brain. The project aims to collect comprehensive neurophysiological data on predictive processing in both humans and macaques using advanced brain recording techniques. This data will elucidate how inhibitory neurons contribute to the brain's...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,000,000 will fund research at Cornell University from March 2023 through February 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support projects to disentangle the neural mechanisms underlying social behaviors and alternative mating tactics in vertebrates. Researchers will conduct studies in prairie voles, a socially monogamous species where males vary in sexual fidelity despite strong pair bonds. The work will...
