This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $117,136 supports research examining learning-related aspects of brain organization in bonobos and chimpanzees. Funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the award will compare brain anatomy in great apes that have and have not undergone training in evolutionarily relevant skills like tool use and language-like systems. Researchers from Harvard University will analyze archived brain images and samples from prior...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $140,343 to Emory University for collaborative research examining foundations of learning through individual variation, plasticity, and evolution in humans and closely related great ape species. The research focuses on analyzing archived brain images and samples from previous studies of bonobos and...
This two-year, $349,604 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings will fund research examining learning-related aspects of brain organization in bonobos and chimpanzees. The George Washington University will lead a collaborative effort to noninvasively study archived brain samples, images, and living apes. Researchers will analyze relationships between individual variation in brain anatomy and skill learning trajectories...
This $342,550 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a study examining the neurobiology of reactive aggression across humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos using brain imaging data and behavioral measurements. The research aims to understand whether reactive aggression has been selected against in humans compared to other primates. Key...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $473,296 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The award supports research examining the evolution of metabolism in the primate brain at the cellular level. Investigators will use advanced techniques to transform human and non-human primate cells into neurons...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $115,140 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Stony Brook University. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to uncover the adaptive origins of fossil apes through a multidisciplinary approach. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collecting fossil primate and other animal specimens through extensive field...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded Baylor University a $159,211 project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund collaborative research from September 2021 through August 2025 on the geological and paleoecological contexts of early Miocene hominoid evolution. As part of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program's goals to promote basic research and education in these...
This $421,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a longitudinal study on the development of social integration in a non-human primate species. The research, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at Hunter College, examines how early rearing environments and maternal social networks impact the origins and evolution of social bonds and an individual's position...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $417,856 supports research on understanding variation in primate aging patterns through March 2026. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to Stony Brook University will couple a longitudinal dataset on over 100 wild non-human primates with physiology, medical imaging, molecular, and comparative methods. The research aims to identify the trajectory of aging across the life course regarding...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $174,128 to support a collaborative research project investigating the early emergence of tool use in human evolution. The research aims to understand the significance of tool technology in the human lineage, including the taxonomic identity of early toolmakers, the purposes of the tools, and the timeline for the development of this technology. The project...
