Project Grant 2316909
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $149,999 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct a series of experiments exploring the cognitive benefits of bilingualism across the lifespan. The research aims to identify patterns of language and cognitive change in aging populations, with a focus on understanding the reasons why bilingual adults tend to preserve better cognitive...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $258,811 Project Grant to the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to support the study of neuroplasticity of language and cognitive processes in bilingualism and multilingualism. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will provide funding from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 for the acquisition of electroencephalography...
- This $699,977 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the impact of bilingualism on inhibitory control processes and executive function. The project, conducted by Nova Southeastern University, Inc., will use electroencephalography to directly measure brain activity while English-speaking monolinguals and Spanish/English bilinguals perform executive function tasks. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to New York University (NYU) for the "Neural Bases of Bilingual Language Production" project. The project aims to study how the brain processes and produces language in bilingual individuals, particularly examining how the brain uses different grammatical rules when speaking multiple languages. The research will involve measuring brain...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $752,048 supports research into early bilingual language development from 2023 to 2027. The award is made under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to further understanding of how young children learn two languages simultaneously. Specifically, the University of California, Davis will examine parent-child interactions in monolingual English and bilingual Spanish-English families of Mexican heritage. Researchers will observe...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $450,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) under the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research on the cognitive mechanisms supporting the production of sentences involving recursion and displacement across different languages. The project aims to use structural priming...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $186,479 to Oregon State University to study multilingual speech recognition in the human brain. Researchers will record neural responses from monolingual, bilingual, and trilingual individuals as they listen to speech in languages they understand. They will use tools from computational neuroscience to develop cognitive theories and neural network models...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $779,514 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Clark University to study the relationship between teacher instructional practices, student language development, and academic performance in bilingual K-4 classrooms. The longitudinal project examines how different approaches to bilingual education, such as flexible language use versus language separation, impact student outcomes. Clark University...
- This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a Project Grant totaling $363,838 to the University of California, San Diego under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) on August 5, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2030. This research project investigates language control mechanisms across comprehension and production in unimodal and bimodal bilinguals—specifically comparing individuals...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $663,423 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This three-year grant supports research to examine the cognitive processes that enable bilingual speakers to switch between their dominant and non-dominant languages when producing and comprehending language. The study will conduct behavioral experiments comparing Spanish-English and Hebrew-English bilingual speakers to investigate the role of inhibitory control in bilingual language proficiency. The research aims to contribute to theoretical models of bilingual language processing, with potential applications for improving second language acquisition approaches and assessing cognitive and linguistic abilities in diverse bilingual populations.
