The grant supports a research study comparing group identification and behavior under stress in different cultural contexts. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences...
This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program (CFDA #47.075) will support socioecological research and training on the emergence of inequality. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Simon Brewer at the University of Utah, the postdoctoral fellow will investigate environmental and social interactions driving material inequality in the Intermountain West. Quantitative modeling will evaluate the relative influences of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $447,116 supports research into network formation and function within and between cultural groups from 2023 to 2025. Funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the grant to Trustees of Boston University will study the development of social relationships between culturally distinct populations and how individuals leverage relationships to access supportive resources. Using multilevel network models...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research on intersectionality and implicit bias from September 2021 through August 2023. The grant was funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in social, behavioral and economic sciences. Under this award, the recipient will conduct research and analysis on how intersectional identities and implicit biases intersect. They...
This Project Grant award, valued at $329,937.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The goal of the project is to develop a computational framework for understanding how people infer and reason about underlying social relationships and group behavior. The research involves conducting experiments to investigate human judgments about social relationships, which will be used to refine a computational model...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075) provides $287,320 to the University of Washington from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025. The project will develop strategies for collecting and reporting information about the racial identity of research participants in an ethical and respectful manner. The research team plans to analyze participant-provided racial identity data, conduct interviews and focus...
This Project Grant award, valued at $136,727, is funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports a collaborative research project to understand how geographic contexts shape attitude formation and the quality of interpersonal interactions at different spatial scales, such as on a person's block, in their neighborhood, and across their city or town. The research will test three key questions derived from an...
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...
This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research to understand how socioeconomic heterogeneity within the U.S. scientific workforce impacts scientific discovery and innovation. The project aims to (i) create a unique individual-level dataset linking researcher socioeconomic backgrounds to scholarly topics, (ii) make an anonymized version of this dataset publicly available, (iii)...

This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences totals $159,098 to support research building a theoretical framework and empirical tools for understanding intersecting group identities. The University of Utah will receive funding under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to develop cultural evolutionary theory exploring how individuals position themselves across social relationships. Researchers will iteratively refine statistical models measuring relationships between real groups using ethnographic data. The project also trains a postdoctoral scholar and PhD student, and creates publicly available online tools explaining identity theories and demonstrating how integrating theory and measurement provides more accurate pictures of evolving social worlds. The work builds analytical capabilities lacking in describing complex group affiliations critical to social science and policy comprehension in an increasingly connected society.
