This $225,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst from April 2023 through March 2025 under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The research aims to advance semantic network analysis to better understand how evaluative exchanges shape scientific arguments during peer review. It will systematically depict the exchange process and variation across fields by representing hierarchical logical...
This Project Grant award of $194,675 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to develop new econometric and statistical methods that allow researchers to draw valid conclusions from complex data in a variety of social, behavioral, and medical science settings. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a generally applicable reparameterization procedure for informative...
This $302,713 National Science Foundation award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program will fund research into crowd perception biases at the University of Denver from June 2022 through May 2025. Specifically, the researchers will examine biases in judging the emotions of unfamiliar others in crowds based on their race and gender. They will test whether these biases depend on whether the others are alone or in a crowd, and the perceiver's own beliefs. Newly...

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 $209,204 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research investigating the impacts of diversity and inclusion in the scientific workforce. The key objectives are to: (a) quantify the participation of people of color and members of historically marginalized populations in science production, (b) elucidate their role in driving intellectual innovations, and (c) understand how team...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $299,181 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the University of Colorado to study the mechanisms that lead to a lack of diversity in computer science (CS) research subfields. The three-part study includes in-depth interviews, textual analysis of subfield discourse, and a large-scale survey to quantify participation of domestic racial minorities in CS subfields. The goal is to develop a...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $501,890 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to assess bias and idiosyncrasies in elite scientific peer review. The University of Colorado will produce and make publicly available multiple comprehensive anonymized datasets spanning submitted manuscripts and reviews from two elite general science journals over multiple years and fields. The University will quantitatively analyze these datasets to assess the magnitude, sources, and effects of both social biases and editorial idiosyncrasies within elite peer review using statistical methods from causal inference, statistical modeling, machine learning, and natural language processing. The anonymized datasets and analysis results will provide insights on the dependence of review outcomes on social demographic and professional attributes to statistically quantify social biases and editorial idiosyncrasies across manuscripts, editors, and fields. The project period is from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025.
