The University of Iowa received a $262,806 project grant award from the National Science Foundation to study group processes underlying deviance in online public spaces. Funded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), this two-year award will support research examining how group dynamics influence deviant behavior in digital forums. The grant aims to contribute scientific insights on how public resources are used to advance knowledge in the social and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science grant award of $297,345 provides funding for a series of annual summer conferences, workshops, and lectures on game theory and its applications to various disciplines, including computer science, business, and public policy. The project, titled "CONFERENCE: SUMMER PROGRAM ON GAME THEORY AND ECONOMICS," will be hosted by Stony Brook University from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The program aims to...
This $288,779 National Science Foundation project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research at the University of Iowa from September 2022 through August 2024 to advance understanding of gender gaps in academic science. The interdisciplinary team will analyze publication records of over 90 million researchers worldwide to develop novel topic fit indices measuring subject congruence between new collaborations and existing work. These indices...
This $364,766 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports fundamental research on the psychology of mass behavior and how large groups of people reason, form beliefs, and interact. The research project, conducted by the University of California, Santa Barbara, aims to extend behavioral economics methods to understand how individuals respond to and reason about the behavior of large groups. Key areas...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $294,401 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports research developing new tools for robust predictions in strategic games with incomplete information. Specifically, the researchers will generalize the solution concept of Bayesian correlated equilibrium to characterize rationalizable behavior under common prior beliefs about unobserved payoff-relevant states....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $225,974 to Cornell University to investigate how technological augmentations can enhance the learning and effectiveness of work teams, community groups, classrooms, and other collectives. The research examines the parameters that drive group-directed learning in areas such as cooperative behavior, collective intelligence, and collective creativity. The...
This $323,388 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project to examine how smart technological environments can be optimized to augment collective learning and creativity. The research aims to investigate the parameters that drive group-directed learning in three key areas: cooperative behavior, collective intelligence, and collective creativity. The project involves large-scale...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $221,000 project grant to the University of Chicago under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year grant will support collaborative research examining heterogeneity, risk premia, and macroeconomic fluctuations. The funding will enable researchers to investigate how differences across economic agents impact asset prices and aggregate outcomes. Relevant contextual details include the program's goal of...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $146,801 will support research into new approaches for modeling games of incomplete information from July 2022 through June 2025. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the research aims to develop robust predictive tools for strategic situations where outcomes depend on unobserved states and players receive private signals. Specifically, the grant will further generalized solution concepts that characterize...
This $276,839 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research study examining the impact of non-science isolation practices on scientific production and collaboration. 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...
