This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research on the cultural contexts and developmental outcomes of childhood exploration and interactions with nature. The $142,165 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will examine children's independent exploration and time spent in different environments (e.g., green spaces versus playgrounds) across two societies where such...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $520,104 is funding an interdisciplinary research project at the University of Iowa that aims to understand the development of children's perception-action and decision-making skills in the context of road crossing. The project leverages immersive virtual environments and wearable pedestrian recording technology to study how parents and their 6- to 8-year-old children...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $418,127 to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The funding will support research investigating how people visually guide movement to satisfy goals over multiple time horizons through complex navigation tasks. Researchers will study human steering and gaze strategies using a custom virtual...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), supports collaborative research to develop a computational model of spatial navigation and representation using neural data obtained from animals navigating large mazes. The $174,998 award, effective from April 15, 2025 to March 31, 2028, will be led by researchers at The Johns Hopkins University. The project aims to investigate how...
Rutgers, The State University received a $299,938 two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant funds cognitive modeling research to redesign public spaces based on principles of human social wayfinding. Leveraging insights into cognitive processes underlying how people navigate unfamiliar public settings together, the project aims to develop design recommendations for more intuitive,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career postdoctoral research fellowship examining how children acquire vocabulary related to spatial relations. The research, conducted under the sponsorship of Dr. John Trueswell at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Barbara Landau at Johns Hopkins University, will investigate how typically developing children learn the meanings of spatial terms...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $337,206 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: THE DEVELOPMENTAL COURSE OF CEREBRAL LATERALIZATION FOR SPACE AND LANGUAGE" to Georgetown University. This 4-year grant, which began on Aug 1, 2023, supports research to investigate how the brain's hemispheric specialization for language and visual-spatial abilities develops in children ages 5-11. Using behavioral testing and functional...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $624,955 to Rutgers, The State University to conduct the "Modeling Equitable and Accessible Public Spaces (MODELING EASE)" project from September 15, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The project uses virtual reality simulations of public transportation hubs to examine how people with varying mobility, sensory, or cognitive impairments navigate crowded spaces, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $466,640 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Trustees of Princeton University. The award, titled "CAREER: The Receptive Field as a Window into the Developing Brain," supports research to measure how the parietal lobe and cerebellum in the brain mature during typical development and support a child's ability to visually attend to their environment. The project aims to understand...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research titled "HOW EXPERIENCE SHAPES SPATIAL THINKING: FRAMES OF REFERENCE ACROSS AXES, AGES, AND CULTURES." With $148,000 in funding, the grantee will explore how experience influences spatial thinking through frames of reference across dimensions, life stages, and cultures. The Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program at the National Science...
