The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a two-year, $993,632 Project Grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports the project "NCS-FO: Tracking Social Behavior and Its Neural Properties in a Smart Aviary" under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075).
The grant funds research to track social behaviors and their underlying neural properties in birds housed within an instrumented aviary. Insights gained from this work could contribute to understanding how social behaviors emerge from neural systems, with potential implications for the scientific study of social, behavioral and economic sciences as supported by the NSF program. The University of Pennsylvania will leverage its aviary facilities and multidisciplinary expertise in neuroscience and behavioral research over the two year period of performance ending September 2023.
