Project Grant 2319234
- Florida International University was awarded a $379,500 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will support a multifaceted examination of the development and application of antidiscrimination laws from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. As part of this project, Florida International University researchers will analyze how antidiscrimination...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $281,367 Project Grant to the Rochester Institute of Technology under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will fund research into visual perception of three-dimensional object shape from patterns of image shading and contours. The researchers will study how the human visual system processes and interprets information about an object's 3D properties. They will incorporate optical effects typically...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $109,864 Project Grant to the University of Colorado under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to expand and enhance the Chicago Face Database. The database is a freely available source of high-quality facial images used by researchers across fields such as psychology, computer science, and economics to study phenomena related to face processing and its effects on human...
- This three-year $476,113 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research at Northeastern University to advance understanding of human color vision processes. The grantee will employ novel psychophysical methods to measure behavioral responses triggered by color within the first fraction of a second of visual stimulus, and explore how those responses change over time across a range of colors, contrasts and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $142,198 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to conduct research on "Lineup Fairness: Optimizing Filler Selection Strategies." The goal of the research is to improve police lineup selection procedures and judicial evaluations of lineup fairness in order to reduce eyewitness misidentifications, a primary source of...
- This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research investigating lineup construction processes and eyewitness identifications. The grantee, an early career scientist sponsored by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, will examine how the compositional structure of photo lineups impacts identification accuracy. Three main components are included: similarity judgments to generate multidimensional face...
- This $212,008 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083), supports research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) on the visual perception of meaning and face recognition in children aged 5-12 years old. The project investigates how children's tendency to detect "pareidolic" or accidental faces in random visual noise patterns changes as they gain more experience with the visual world. The research...
- This $160,000 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the neural basis of social influence perception. Under the sponsorship of Drs. Shari Liu, Marina Bedny, and Tianmin Shu at Johns Hopkins University, the fellowship supports an early-career scientist who will use behavioral and neuroimaging methods to examine how the brain processes information about physical...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University a $373,588 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to support research titled "Excellence in Research: Predicting Computations that Lead to a Stable Perception of Object Lightness under Spectral Variabilities of the Visual Scene." The three-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $503,000 Project Grant to Florida International University (FIU) to conduct research on the other-race effect in face perception. The goal of the 3-year project is to understand the types of experiences that lead to the development of the other-race effect and how those experiences modify face perception. The research approach involves testing people using computer-generated faces and races, measuring face perception with high precision, and using mathematical modeling to formalize hypotheses. The knowledge gained from this project is expected to lead to a better understanding and measurement of the other-race effect, which will inform the development of training procedures to eliminate racial biases in face perception. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
