This $457,860 Project Grant was awarded on May 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant will fund research by the University of California, Irvine to examine how memory benefits change over time and multiple nights of sleep, specifically focusing on the role of sleep in strengthening the weakest memories. The project will utilize a combination of behavioral, physiological, and computational methods to provide...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigation into how sleep facilitates the integration of new and existing memories. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms that enable this integration process, which is critical for building knowledge from new information encountered in daily life. The study will use electroencephalography (EEG),...
This $850,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) funds research to understand how sleep and memory are interconnected in the brain by measuring changes in synaptic connections between neurons during sleep. The research will leverage advanced neurophysiological techniques and statistical tools to track and analyze neuronal spike trains during spatial memory tasks and various sleep stages....
This federal Project Grant award of $442,938.00 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to elucidate the relationship between sleep, memory, and aging in the nematode model organism C. elegans. The key objectives are to: Characterize how aging affects the sleep required for memory consolidation and associated synaptic plasticity changes. Determine how upregulation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the nervous system can restore...
The University of Texas at Austin was awarded an $801,438 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to research brain changes related to learning loss in children. The grant, awarded February 15, 2021, will fund research through January 31, 2024 examining how the brain is impacted by learning loss and how those changes can be addressed. As the largest federal supporter of basic research in the social, behavioral...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's $150,000 Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026 to translate insights from sleep biology to improve continual learning in artificial neural networks. The University of California San Diego will study multi-phasic sleep patterns across the honeybee brain using electrophysiological experiments. This will inform computational models of sleeping neural networks to enhance deep...
The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a three-year, $725,673 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund research understanding task- and resting-state neural activation in relation to real-world social behavior through May 2024. As part of the SBE Sciences program, which supports basic research and education in social, behavioral and economic sciences, this project aims to contribute insights on...
This $202,401 Project Grant was awarded to Furman University by the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a research project titled "RUI: Mechanisms of Memory Consolidation in Offline Wakefulness," which investigates how short periods of waking rest can improve memory consolidation, similar to the process that occurs during sleep. The project aims to deepen the understanding of memory and identify ways to...
This $665,893 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to understand how hippocampal activity during sleep affects the stabilization and interference of context-specific memories. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, will conduct experiments to develop advanced machine learning techniques for analyzing hippocampal neuronal activity during sleep, with the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $230,079 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to conduct research on the impact of learning opportunities on cognitive aging and brain structure in older adults. The project examines how changes in learning activities related to retirement affect cognitive and brain aging using behavioral and neuroimaging methods. It investigates the...
