The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Emory University a $683,097 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant, titled "Collaborative Research: HCC: Medium: Modeling and Mitigating Confirmation Bias in Visual Data Analysis", runs from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2027.

The project aims to investigate confirmation bias in data analysis and develop interventions to help data analysts make less biased decisions. Key activities include: (1) creating models to understand how existing beliefs and analytic goals impact data-driven decision-making, and (2) designing novel analytic interfaces that intelligently suggest evidence to counter pre-existing beliefs. The researchers will also create educational materials and collect empirical datasets to help the broader community think about confirmation bias in visual data communication and interpretation. This research seeks to increase understanding of confirmation bias in real-world visual data analysis tasks and evaluate bias-mitigation interventions.
