Project Grant 2235328
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,000 supports research to evaluate computational models of infant language acquisition against experimental data on English- and Spanish-learning infants. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will enable researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles to directly compare the output of different computational word segmentation models to infant behavioral data on the acquisition of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $663,423 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This three-year grant supports research to examine the cognitive processes that enable bilingual speakers to switch between their dominant and non-dominant languages when producing and comprehending language. The study will conduct behavioral experiments...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $149,999 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct a series of experiments exploring the cognitive benefits of bilingualism across the lifespan. The research aims to identify patterns of language and cognitive change in aging populations, with a focus on understanding the reasons why bilingual adults tend to preserve better cognitive...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a Project Grant totaling $363,838 to the University of California, San Diego under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) on August 5, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2030. This research project investigates language control mechanisms across comprehension and production in unimodal and bimodal bilinguals—specifically comparing individuals...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $258,811 Project Grant to the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to support the study of neuroplasticity of language and cognitive processes in bilingualism and multilingualism. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will provide funding from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 for the acquisition of electroencephalography...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $217,800 two-year Project Grant to researchers at Berkeley, California to study the contributions of the environment and social interaction to language emergence. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the researchers will investigate how environmental and social factors shape...
- This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will support research examining syntactic regulation and adaptation in bidialectal and heritage bilingual speakers. The goal is to better understand the nature and consequences of proficient, multidialectal language experience. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Julie Washington at the University of California, Irvine, the postdoctoral fellow will conduct a neurolinguistic...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $779,514 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Clark University to study the relationship between teacher instructional practices, student language development, and academic performance in bilingual K-4 classrooms. The longitudinal project examines how different approaches to bilingual education, such as flexible language use versus language separation, impact student outcomes. Clark University...
- This $699,977 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the impact of bilingualism on inhibitory control processes and executive function. The project, conducted by Nova Southeastern University, Inc., will use electroencephalography to directly measure brain activity while English-speaking monolinguals and Spanish/English bilinguals perform executive function tasks. The...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $752,048 supports research into early bilingual language development from 2023 to 2027. The award is made under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to further understanding of how young children learn two languages simultaneously. Specifically, the University of California, Davis will examine parent-child interactions in monolingual English and bilingual Spanish-English families of Mexican heritage. Researchers will observe language play between parents and infants to analyze links between parental language usage, gestures, and attention guidance, as well as infant responses and emerging vocabulary. The goal is to reveal commonalities and differences across monolingual and bilingual family dynamics that influence early dual language acquisition. Insights from this research could benefit parents, educators, speech therapists and physicians working with young bilingual populations.
