This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $648,655 in funding to Miami University to investigate how childhood experiences, such as maltreatment and parenting quality, predict daily emotional reactivity to stress in adulthood. The research aims to inform the design of interventions to help people respond constructively to daily stress.
The project builds on the long-running Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation, with the awardee overseeing the collection of 14 days of daily survey data from participants at age 50 to analyze their stress responses. A subaward to the University of Minnesota will support the integration of this new data into the longitudinal dataset and help plan participant assessments. The project runs from April 2024 through March 2027.
