This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $142,477 to support collaborative research examining foundations of learning through individual variation, plasticity, and evolution in humans and great apes. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), this award will support research examining brain organization and its relationship to skill learning in bonobos and chimpanzees. Researchers will...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Social Brain: Behavioral, Neural, and Transcriptomic Modulation of the Brain" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. This funding was provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major issues facing the nation. Over the two year period of performance in Columbia, Missouri, this award will allow the...
This $342,550 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a study examining the neurobiology of reactive aggression across humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos using brain imaging data and behavioral measurements. The research aims to understand whether reactive aggression has been selected against in humans compared to other primates. Key...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $140,343 to Emory University for collaborative research examining foundations of learning through individual variation, plasticity, and evolution in humans and closely related great ape species. The research focuses on analyzing archived brain images and samples from previous studies of bonobos and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $360,000 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to investigate the role of neuron-neuron communication in the post-mitotic maturation of neurons during postnatal development. The project aims to uncover how chemical signals between neurons, such as neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, contribute to the growth and function of the nervous system using the model...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $117,136 supports research examining learning-related aspects of brain organization in bonobos and chimpanzees. Funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the award will compare brain anatomy in great apes that have and have not undergone training in evolutionarily relevant skills like tool use and language-like systems. Researchers from Harvard University will analyze archived brain images and samples from prior...
This $165,773 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a career research and teaching project that examines the social, ethical, and societal implications of neuroscience. The project aims to provide new guidelines to address bias, increase research diversity and equity, and foster greater collaboration between the social sciences, neurosciences, and broader society. The project will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $320,000 in funding to Northeastern University to investigate the neurocognitive development of learning during adolescence. 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...
This $450,000 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into the relationship between primate gut microbiomes and behavioral traits. The University of Massachusetts will analyze behavioral and fecal samples from wild nonhuman primates to quantify the taxonomic diversity of gut microbes through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and identify functional genes through metagenomic sequencing. The research aims to examine potential associations between gut microbiome diversity, behavioral...
This $495,341 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Smith College to investigate the G protein-coupled receptor GPR37 and its role in regulating the maturation of new neurons in the adult hippocampus. The project aims to build on preliminary findings that suggest GPR37 may potentiate Wnt signaling to positively influence the integration of newborn neurons into established brain circuits. Key aspects of...
