This $457,860 Project Grant was awarded on May 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant will fund research by the University of California, Irvine to examine how memory benefits change over time and multiple nights of sleep, specifically focusing on the role of sleep in strengthening the weakest memories. The project will utilize a combination of behavioral, physiological, and computational methods to provide...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigation into how sleep facilitates the integration of new and existing memories. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms that enable this integration process, which is critical for building knowledge from new information encountered in daily life. The study will use electroencephalography (EEG),...
This $850,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) funds research to understand how sleep and memory are interconnected in the brain by measuring changes in synaptic connections between neurons during sleep. The research will leverage advanced neurophysiological techniques and statistical tools to track and analyze neuronal spike trains during spatial memory tasks and various sleep stages....
This three-year, $742,283 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into understanding and enhancing human learning and memory consolidation processes. Awarded on August 1, 2021 under the SBE Sciences Directorate's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the grant supports work at Northwestern University through July 31, 2024. The university aims to advance basic scientific knowledge in this area, in line with the program's goals of contributing to scientific strength...
This federal Project Grant award of $408,541 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the role of retrosplenial cortex (RSC) neurons in initiating slow-wave sleep (SWS) transitions and facilitating memory consolidation. The key objectives are to: 1) Investigate the neural dynamics of RSC layer-5 neurons in memory consolidation, and 2) Examine the connectivity and causal role of RSC...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,090 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027 focused on building a conceptual framework for understanding the "engram" - the neural mechanisms underlying memory retention and recall. The project will employ methods from biology, history, and philosophy of science to develop an updated, expanded...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $200,000 Project Grant to Brown University under the Integrative Activities (CFDA No. 47.083) program. The purpose of this collaborative U.S.-Israel research project is to investigate the neural mechanisms by which learning can be enhanced for both visual and motor skill acquisition. The research aims to integrate findings on memory reactivation and the role of sleep in facilitating skill learning, and to understand how these processes work...
This Project Grant award for $346,803 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate the mechanisms that determine the memorability of stimuli, such as images, voices, and words. The research will test three main theories about what makes certain information more memorable than others, using a combination of behavioral experiments, brain...
This $120,276 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a collaborative research project to enhance episodic memory through the integration of real-world brain recording, stimulation, and perception data. The key objectives are to: Synchronize human experience data from various IoT sensors with neuronal activity recordings to understand how brain patterns relate to real-world experiences. Leverage...
This federal Project Grant award of $442,938.00 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to elucidate the relationship between sleep, memory, and aging in the nematode model organism C. elegans. The key objectives are to: Characterize how aging affects the sleep required for memory consolidation and associated synaptic plasticity changes. Determine how upregulation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the nervous system can restore...
