Carnegie Mellon University was awarded a $625,000 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). The grant will fund research to develop a detailed theory of how basic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts are organized neurologically. Researchers will assess brain representations of STEM concepts in physics, biology, chemistry,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $466,640 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Trustees of Princeton University. The award, titled "CAREER: The Receptive Field as a Window into the Developing Brain," supports research to measure how the parietal lobe and cerebellum in the brain mature during typical development and support a child's ability to visually attend to their environment. The project aims to understand...
This $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (formerly known as Education and Human Resources, CFDA 47.076) will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to uncover cognitive and neural fingerprints that make individuals unique. Over three years, the researchers will develop new computational algorithms to identify commonalities and differences in how mental representations and neural underpinnings are structured across individuals. They...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $554,710 project grant to Trustees of Boston College under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct collaborative research on early number development from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The research will involve over 3,000 children aged 2 to 5 years old across 28 U.S. states and 27 countries to investigate how toddlers and preschoolers perceive, reason about, and communicate numbers. Two foundational studies will examine number perception...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,098,240 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The purpose of this five-year project, running from May 2024 to April 2029, is to advance the understanding of the relationship between brain development and the acquisition of numeracy skills in early childhood. The project will use a combination of electrophysiological (ERP) and optical (fNIRS) brain imaging techniques to longitudinally track...
This $373,993 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research study on the cognitive and embodied processes involved in geometry learning. The research team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will collect and analyze data on students' body movements, speech, and interactions as they play a mathematics learning game designed to encourage physical engagement. Using AI-powered...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, provides $150,000 in funding to Lehigh University for a collaborative research project titled "DYNAMIC BRAIN GRAPH MINING - MAPPING THE CONNECTIONS IN HUMAN BRAINS AS NETWORKED SYSTEMS." The project aims to develop new methods for modeling the dynamics of brain graphs derived from neuroimaging data, in order to generate accurate, interpretable, and fair predictions about...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $625,000 will fund research into the brain network mechanisms underlying task-general cognition and intelligent human behavior from September 2022 to August 2025. Under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Rutgers University, Newark will investigate how dynamic activity flows within cognitive control networks implement intelligent goal-directed behavior across diverse tasks. Researchers will utilize brain...
This $511,527 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) aims to investigate the developmental trajectory of cerebral lateralization for language and visual-spatial abilities in children aged 5 to 11. The research team at The Johns Hopkins University will use behavioral testing and functional brain imaging to examine how brain activation patterns change over...
This $567,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research initiative led by Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to develop novel approaches for using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance mathematical reasoning and proof formalization. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) synergistically combine machine learning and symbolic AI techniques to advance mathematical problem-solving...
