Project Grant 2142090
- The National Science Foundation awarded Vanderbilt University a $502,654 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The grant will support the Forming Habit(us) project to examine through 5,700 hours of in-home video footage how 21 American families from different social class backgrounds develop early-life skills, attitudes, and expectations in their young children aged 2 to 4 years old. Outcomes will include...
- This Project Grant award of $430,252 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative multi-year research project examining the multi-sectoral determinants of health in low-income communities globally. The research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the formulation, interpretation, translation, and implementation of health policies across local, national, and transnational scales. The project...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $200,000 in funding to the University of Cincinnati to conduct a study on the impact of lifestyle changes on the human epigenome. The study aims to understand how rapid lifestyle changes can lead to a gene-environment mismatch and how epigenetic modifications can provide a more rapid adaptive response. The research involves collecting and analyzing gene...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $160,000 Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) grant to an early career scientist for a 2-year project investigating the effects of early life adversity on DNA methylation and gene regulation in rhesus macaques. The goal is to provide a comprehensive systems-wide characterization of how early life adversity impacts DNA methylation patterns across primate physiology, and to assess the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $240,069 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Vanderbilt University will be used to explore the effects of lifestyle on immune system activity and molecular markers of aging across populations with diverse lifestyles, from traditional subsistence-level to highly urban. The research will focus on analyzing three age-associated molecular phenotypes - gene expression, DNA methylation, and telomere length - in peripheral blood...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $648,655 in funding to Miami University to investigate how childhood experiences, such as maltreatment and parenting quality, predict daily emotional reactivity to stress in adulthood. The research aims to inform the design of interventions to help people respond constructively to daily stress. The project builds on the long-running Minnesota Longitudinal...
- This $154,419 Project Grant awarded on February 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports collaborative research to understand the role of livelihood diversification in driving family size changes in mixed economies. The key products and services to be delivered through this funding include: Testing hypotheses on how economic and cultural factors influence ideal and realized family sizes, and how family size affects...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award of $273,024 to The University of the South (Sewanee) will support research examining how early competitive social interactions affect the development of the stress response in fish. The 3-year project, starting November 1, 2025, will manipulate competitive social interactions in genetically identical fish siblings to investigate the consequences on their behavioral and hormonal stress responses...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $128,798 to Northern Kentucky University to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of early life adversity on the development of social behavior in a non-human primate species. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the juvenile period and the proximate mechanisms underlying the relationship between early life...
- This $778,024 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will support a 3-year longitudinal study to examine neurobiological and contextual factors that contribute to successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. The research team at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will use fMRI, behavioral measures, and questionnaires to test hypotheses that neural reward sensitivity, tolerance...
This $279,436 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into early life influences on later life health outcomes through Vanderbilt University from April 2022 through March 2025. The research will investigate how early life environments impact adult health among indigenous Malaysians experiencing rapid lifestyle changes. Vanderbilt will characterize participants' early and current environments, physiological status, and test theories of how early life effects evolve using genomic techniques to identify genes and regulatory processes mediating environmental influences on later health. A $50,000 subaward to the University of Malaya will investigate these issues among their population. This work falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields to strengthen the nation's scientific capabilities and understanding of science resources.
