This three-year, $242,421 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research on adaptive decision rules in dynamic environments. The grantee, the Regents of the University of Colorado, will investigate how the primate brain balances decision deliberation and commitment when decisions must be made under changing and uncertain conditions. Researchers will develop a novel theoretical framework incorporating flexible...
This $411,707 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort to study the neural and computational mechanisms underlying flexible, goal-directed decision making. The project aims to uncover the hidden drivers and potential failure modes of adaptive human decision-making, with the goal of better aligning real-world choices with long-term goals. The research combines...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to understand how the brain supports decision-making processes. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to identify neural features that provide information about the decision-making process, build decoders to predict decisions, and develop a closed-loop...
This $325,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of different memory systems in guiding decision-making for novel choices. The research team plans to leverage eye-tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), computational modeling, and patient populations to characterize how "rigid" and "flexible"...
The University of Houston received a $158,339 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research titled "What Limits Visual Working Memory?" through December 31, 2022. The award falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields as well as monitor science investments. Specifically, the funding...
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 two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research on the mechanisms and evolution of decision-making under conflict from the molecular to individual and population levels. The grant falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Funding will support the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $752,727 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant, titled "CAREER: A Neurocomputational Approach to Contextually Flexible Human Social Behavior", aims to generate new scientific understanding of flexible human social decision-making and its underlying neural...
This $714,203 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research conducted by New York University (NYU) on how people change their planning behavior in response to uncertainty in their environment. The project aims to develop computational models of human planning under varying levels of randomness, including uncertainty in rewards, actions, and volatile environments. The research will analyze...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $529,508 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals to leverage the brain's motivation system for arbitrary goals. The 3-year research project, starting on June 1, 2024, aims to uncover how learning and decision-making differ when people pursue familiar, objective rewards versus novel, self-imposed...
