- This $266,634 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research examining conditions under which violence is perpetrated against members of the press. The University of Washington will develop theoretical frameworks and collect comprehensive data sets on media deaths worldwide from 1992-2020, as well as sub-national data on threats, arrests, and attacks against the media in several countries. These data sets and frameworks aim to improve understanding of when, where, and how the media...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science Project Grant award of $234,489 supports collaborative research at New York University (NYU) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The primary objectives are to: Conduct a series of experiments to understand how people form subjective causal models based on observed data patterns, and how these models may be influenced by preconceptions triggered by natural contexts. This will provide insights into how economic...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation supports research and narrative discovery activities at The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology from October 2021 through September 2024 with $535,950 in funding. The award is made under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which aims to advance computing, communications, and information sciences through investigator-initiated research and cyberinfrastructure development. Specifically,...
- This $649,380 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) supports the creation of a database containing information about how public figures and leaders at the national, state, and local levels in the U.S. communicate and engage on social media and other online public forums. The project will develop measures to assess aspects of public figures' online...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science Project Grant, with the official CFDA program title "Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences", provides $296,646 in funding to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the role of media coverage in driving the commercial diffusion of scientific knowledge. The researchers will compile a unique dataset linking scientific press releases, journal articles, and patent-to-paper citations to study...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $319,908 to the University of Pittsburgh to construct a database containing information on how public leaders at the national, state, and local levels communicate through social media and other public online forums. The database will capture measures of public figures' online transparency, responsiveness, and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $420,103 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to develop a model for understanding why people differ in their judgments of public events such as rallies and marches. The project aims to test whether three key mechanisms - relating to the participants, the event's aims, and preferences for order - jointly determine whether someone supports or...
- The University of Michigan was awarded a $269,065 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The three-year grant will support the university's collaborative research project entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: III: SMALL: ENTITY- AND EVENT-DRIVEN MEDIA BIAS DETECTION." The project aims to advance development of research tools to detect media bias at the entity and event levels through automated...
This $313,805 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund the University of Wisconsin-Madison to compare news coverage of public events across different news sources from 1994 to 2010. The university will develop catalogs of public events from that period and corresponding news stories to demonstrate how perceptions based on mainstream national media differed from those in more local specialty newspapers. Relational databases will provide rigorous links between events and articles, allowing events to be verified and coverage patterns analyzed. Comparison across source types will shed light on differing narratives constructed about this understudied time. Innovative methodologies will improve event data collection and inform historical understanding of debates, to the benefit of other scholars. The project aims to deliver high-quality datasets and insights on media influence over democratic deliberation.
