This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $215,347 to Oregon State University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The funding supports research from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2025 to understand why vigilance declines over time through behavioral experiments and statistical modeling. The research will examine the types of errors people make during sustained attention...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant, awarded to Clemson University, will provide $146,703 to conduct research on the role of attention control in human-autonomy collaboration. The project aims to understand how individual differences in cognitive abilities, specifically working memory and attention control, impact human performance with automated systems. The research will examine which cognitive tasks or processes are...
This $382,535 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Yale University to develop understanding of attention in preschool-aged children. The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award falls under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which promotes basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the two-year project will investigate the emergence of selective and sustained attention to socially relevant audiovisual...
This two-year $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund an EEG investigation of temporal orienting of attention for goal-directed eye and hand movements at Providence, Rhode Island. The grant aims to contribute to basic research in the social, behavioral and economic sciences by supporting the monitoring of resources invested in science. Key products will include an EEG study exploring how the brain...
This $223,136 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the causes and consequences of early quitting in visual search tasks. Funded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the two-year award to Connecticut College will investigate how distracting objects can alter decision-making processes and cause individuals to terminate searches earlier than they otherwise would. Researchers will use various experimental protocols and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $659,877 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The grant funds research aimed at studying how salient visual distractions impact ongoing task performance and how humans mitigate distractions to remain productive. Researchers will use a novel forced-response method involving eye-tracking...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $399,042 to support research on audio-visual effects and spatial attention mechanisms in the human brain. The 3-year project, awarded to Dartmouth College, aims to investigate how the brain integrates sensory inputs from vision and audition, with a focus on understanding the role of spatial location in multisensory attention and perception. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $341,347 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research on attentional guidance and decision-making during visual search tasks. The award, which runs from March 2025 through February 2028, will use behavior, eye-tracking, virtual reality, brain activity, and computational modeling to test hypotheses about the computational differences...
This $434,028 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to investigate how task goals influence brain representations of visual motion processing. The study aims to develop computational models quantifying the degree to which stimulus features and cognitive task demands impact neural activity in the brain's attention and decision-making...

This two-year, $158,962 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Old Dominion University to understand declines in sustained attention over time. Funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the research will combine behavioral experiments with statistical modeling. Experiments in a driving simulator and other tasks will examine how automated controls, mental rest, task difficulty and dual-task loads affect vigilance. Researchers will analyze psychometric functions to isolate the roles of response bias, internal noise and attentional lapses on vigilance decrements over half-hour periods. Findings aim to improve human performance in sustained attention jobs like baggage screening and military surveillance. The grant also supports training students in experimental psychology, cognitive modeling and human factors engineering.
