- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $503,000 Project Grant to Florida International University (FIU) to conduct research on the other-race effect in face perception. The goal of the 3-year project is to understand the types of experiences that lead to the development of the other-race effect and how those experiences modify face perception. The research approach involves testing people using computer-generated faces...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $499,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the University will predict attention fluctuations and their consequences for memory from functional brain connectivity. The research will contribute to scientific...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded Indiana University a $181,157 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for the period of May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2022. The grant funding supports collaborative research to understand privacy violations of racial and ethnic minorities in online photo sharing. Specifically, the grant will allow researchers to investigate how photos shared online may...
- This Project Grant award of $199,999 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Chicago and Swiss partners to advance the understanding of the neural and behavioral underpinnings of working memory. The goal is to clarify the cognitive role of neurally active representations in working memory and examine whether there are specific operations that require...
- The University of California, San Diego received a $375,000 project grant award from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "Towards Holistic Bias Mitigation in Computer Vision Systems" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The award is funded through the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070), which supports investigator-initiated research and education in all areas of computing, communications, and information...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $203,995 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) to conduct research examining the intrinsic memorability of voices. Over a 15-month period from June 2023 through August 2024, the university will test thousands of people's memories of 630 diverse voices saying the same sentence to determine which voices are most...
This National Science Foundation award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program provides $128,579 to expand and enhance the Chicago Face Database. The University Corporation will receive funding from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 to add 200 images of individuals photographed in China and Japan to the existing database of over 800 faces. They will also update subjective ratings of the faces, collect additional biometric measurements, and develop new web-based tools to facilitate stimulus selection. The Chicago Face Database is a freely available open resource utilized by over 8,000 researchers to study face processing and its effects on human behavior. This project aims to address questions regarding cross-race recognition by improving database diversity and accessibility. It will also support a mentoring program for historically underrepresented students in computer science.
