- The National Science Foundation awarded $103,992 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Michigan from June 2023 through May 2026. The award will support the creation of the Individual Differences Corpus, a publicly available database of speech data from hundreds of native English speakers. The corpus will pair audio recordings with detailed cognitive and social profiles of each speaker. It aims to advance understanding of how...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $268,067 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to advance linguistic research through the development of speech technologies. The key products and services delivered under this 2-year award, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, include: Creation of benchmark datasets, comprehensive lexica, and advanced data...
- This Project Grant award of $101,674 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to build a high-quality speech data set and transcription infrastructure for several low-data languages. The project, conducted by The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), will create a 60-hour corpus of naturalistic and read speech data recorded in the field. It will leverage unsupervised and weakly supervised machine...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Sciences award, CFDA 47.075, provides $507,066 to Montclair State University to create a corpus of annotated speech data for African American English, Latinx English, and European American English. The goal is to advance scientific understanding of prosody and develop tools for automatic detection of accent and phrase boundaries across these language varieties. A team of 7 diverse students will receive training through the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $239,580 project grant to Gettysburg College on December 1, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2025. The grant supports collaborative research to improve techniques of automatic speech recognition and transfer learning using documentary linguistic corpora under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This program contributes to scientific strength and welfare through promotion...
- This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
- This $116,797 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to document, analyze, and revitalize a contact language that has undergone significant grammatical change. The project will record 40 hours of natural speech through sociolinguistic interviews and linguistic elicitation, transcribe and annotate the data, and develop an open-access digital corpus. Grounded in theories of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying speech production. The project aims to generate a functional map of the brain systems that enable fluent speech, with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment of speech production deficits. The $965,471 award, effective August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026,...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $182,694, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to Rutgers, The State University. The grant, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports research focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition, particularly the learning of word morphology and phonology. The research aims to develop...
The Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) received a $203,103 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). The grant will support RFCUNY's development of the Individual Differences Corpus, a publicly available speech dataset and associated research exploring sources of individual variation in speech production. The corpus will pair thousands of words of connected speech from several hundred native English speakers with comprehensive cognitive and social assessments. It aims to advance scientific understanding of how mental skills and personality traits influence speech. Initial studies will examine relationships between prosodic and segmental speech planning and psychometric measures of cognitive control, processing styles, and other individual factors. The corpus and related research have the potential to inform approaches to speech-related differences across social, educational, technological and clinical applications.
