This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $447,116 supports research into network formation and function within and between cultural groups from 2023 to 2025. Funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the grant to Trustees of Boston University will study the development of social relationships between culturally distinct populations and how individuals leverage relationships to access supportive resources. Using multilevel network models...
This National Science Foundation project grant awarded $100,000 to Arizona State University to fund research into opinion formation and graph dynamics on social media platforms from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The award aims to develop mathematical models of the interplay between social networks and opinion dynamics to better understand the rise of polarization and echo chambers in online discourse. A subaward of $25,000 was provided to Artis Research & Risk Modeling Corporation to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $300,000 to Florida State University (FSU) supports the development of a new class of latent variable models for network data. The research aims to create models that can capture essential characteristics observed in network data from various disciplines, including the social and life sciences. Key activities include integrating and extending existing approaches to modeling...
This $595,183 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project that examines the factors influencing the spread and persistence of dynamic social norms. The project investigates attributes like trend longevity, universality, shared cause, and sufficiency that can encourage individuals to adopt emerging social behaviors and beliefs, particularly in the context of addressing societal...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $200,000 to Duke University to conduct a cross-national study using generative artificial intelligence, social simulation models, and online experiments. The goal is to identify how social media algorithms can be redesigned to promote mutual understanding, increase trust, and reduce polarization. The research design involves training large language models...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded Trustees of Boston University a $575,862 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075).
