Project Grant 2313948
- This $850,000 Project Grant award, funded jointly by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports research to understand how sleep and memory are connected in the brain. The project will use long-duration, high-resolution recordings of neuronal activity to observe changes in synaptic connections during sleep and memory tasks,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $332,602 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The award will support research from October 2021 through September 2022 to study the relationship between habitual sleep quality, neural activity in episodic memory networks, and episodic memory performance across the adult lifespan. A diverse sample of 90 young, middle-aged, and older adults without...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $562,170 CAREER grant (CFDA 47.075: Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) to the University of California, Irvine on May 1, 2025, to investigate memory consolidation across multiple nights of sleep. The project will deliver empirical research findings, behavioral datasets, and computational analyses examining whether sleep provides sustained memory benefits over prolonged...
- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, awarded a Project Grant of $604,425 to the University of California, Berkeley under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) beginning September 1, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2028. This research initiative investigates how the brain's memory systems, particularly the hippocampus, minimize interference between similar memories to enable...
- This postdoctoral fellowship award of $160,000, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027, is funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The fellowship supports early-career research at New York University under the sponsorship of Dr. Marcelo Mattar investigating how humans utilize episodic memory—detailed recollections of past experiences—to make adaptive decisions...
- This Project Grant award of $346,803, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research at the University of Chicago to test theories underlying what makes certain stimuli more memorable than others. The project aims to understand the underlying brain mechanisms that determine what information is prioritized for storage in human memory. The research utilizes behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial...
- This $202,401 Project Grant was awarded to Furman University by the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a research project titled "RUI: Mechanisms of Memory Consolidation in Offline Wakefulness," which investigates how short periods of waking rest can improve memory consolidation, similar to the process that occurs during sleep. The project aims to deepen the understanding of memory and identify ways to...
- 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...
- 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 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), behavioral assessments, and computational modeling to test the hypothesis that interleaved reactivation of new and old memories during sleep is necessary for effective integration. The findings from this project are expected to advance the scientific understanding of how sleep supports memory consolidation and the formation of new knowledge.
