This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research to understand how socioeconomic heterogeneity within the U.S. scientific workforce impacts scientific discovery and innovation. The project aims to (i) create a unique individual-level dataset linking researcher socioeconomic backgrounds to scholarly topics, (ii) make an anonymized version of this dataset publicly available, (iii)...
This Project Grant award for $170,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship for an early career scientist to investigate the relationship between the quantification of the penal sector and social inequality, with a focus on how communities perceive and negotiate predictive policing models. The research aims to provide empirical insights into the emergence...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $140,482 to support research to develop a new methodology for distinguishing between research findings that can be generalized across populations, places, and time, and those that cannot be generalized. The research aims to address a fundamental challenge in empirical research by introducing a rigorous approach to identify the environmental,...
This $154,173 National Science Foundation project grant through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund Arizona State University to assess the impact of different biomedical research funder strategies on innovation. Over an 18-month period ending in February 2024, ASU will build an extensive scientist-level database merging individual researcher data with sponsored research proposals, awards, and scientific outcomes including publications and technology transfer...
This $276,839 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research study examining the impact of non-science isolation practices on scientific production and collaboration. The research aims to deepen understanding of how national scientific systems are interconnected with global economic and political dynamics, providing insights on the effects of scientific cooperation across countries...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award for $544,082 supports research to examine the structural barriers and facilitators for translating academic research to inform public policy. The study will elicit problem definitions and recommendations from decision-makers at public universities and research-funding philanthropies regarding how to improve the development of university-based infrastructure for research...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program totaling $246,455 will fund research examining socio-technical practices governing the design, manufacture, and distribution of emerging digital technologies. Specifically, the two-year award to the University of Massachusetts will support multi-sited ethnographic research and analyses exploring how entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and investors are actively building and circulating...
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 $100,608 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the relationships between human activities, place attachment, and environmental factors. The project takes a mixed-methods approach, including mapping geographic patterns of human activities, to analyze how place attachments develop in response to changes in natural landscapes. The research findings will contribute to a...
