This $185,194 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the role of human and animal mobility and migration in enabling the persistence of cities in fragile environments. Led by Stony Brook University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the research team will examine skeletal remains from one ancient city in a floodplain region using strontium, neodymium, and lead isotope analysis to determine the geographic origins of human and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $222,011 to Wesleyan University over 4 years to investigate the geographic spread of pastoralism using a combination of paleogenomic and archaeological approaches. The research aims to clarify the timing of cattle, sheep, and goat domestication, explore their genetic histories, and study the cultural and...
This Project Grant award, totaling $221,164, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The project examines how small-scale societies adapted their food practices to environmental changes over time, using archaeological data to document past food practices and integrate them with paleoclimatological records. The research involves collaboration with local communities to study dietary remains preserved at archaeological...
This $288,779 National Science Foundation project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research at the University of Iowa from September 2022 through August 2024 to advance understanding of gender gaps in academic science. The interdisciplinary team will analyze publication records of over 90 million researchers worldwide to develop novel topic fit indices measuring subject congruence between new collaborations and existing work. These indices...
This two-year, $143,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program will fund postdoctoral research examining the long-term effects of socioeconomic activity on ecological stability. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Kristina Douglass at Columbia University, the early career scientist will study the impacts of different small-scale foraging, herding and agricultural livelihood strategies on soil and vegetation diversity. By shifting...
This two-year, $217,923 National Science Foundation project grant funds collaborative research on human networks, sustainable development, and lived experience in a nonindustrial society. Led by researchers from multiple universities and tribal communities, the grantees will investigate relationships between spatial patterns of social interaction and quality of life over 800 years in the Southwestern United States. They will combine existing demographic, socioeconomic, health, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $256,049 to Florida State University (FSU) to investigate the relationship between cultural norms, values, and health behaviors.
