This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a research project titled "CAREER: The Science of Risk Assessment" at Duke University. The $117,071 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, will study the variables impacting decision-making and risk assessment among adolescents and young adults regarding brain injury, especially concussions. The project utilizes a...
This Project Grant award of $220,947 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop an intelligent wearable system that can assess patient motivation, adapt the challenge level of therapeutic activities, and provide cues to motivate stroke survivors to use their affected limbs. The project aims to address the problem of "learned non-use" where stroke survivors avoid using their impaired limbs despite retaining the ability...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $206,132 to Louisiana State University to conduct fundamental research on the high strain rate mechanics of the human brain. The research aims to develop advanced computational models and experimental techniques to better understand the complex mechanical behavior of the living human brain under extreme loading conditions, such as those encountered during traumatic brain injuries. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $324,084 to Arizona State University (ASU) to research and develop innovative approaches for disaster response coordination and resource management in public safety systems. The key goals are to: Create a novel behavioral decision-making model that captures how victims make risk-aware choices about utilizing dynamic resources during disasters, and 2) Design a resilient disaster response...
This $165,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program supports the development of a novel adaptive data collection framework for automated post-disaster rapid damage assessment. The project at Arizona State University's Orspa division will create a Bayesian-based system that analyzes recent observations to dynamically update the trajectories of data collector agents toward areas with the greatest potential for information gain. This will...
This $400,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a 3-year research project that examines the impacts of natural disasters on community resilience and spatial disparities. The project has three key components: 1) analyzing disruptions to resident mobility patterns using mobile phone data, 2) investigating spatial variation in requests for government assistance, and 3)...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $118,212 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct fundamental research on the extreme mechanics of the human brain. The research combines high-rate mechanical testing, analytical and computational modeling, and machine learning to generate insights into how the living human brain responds to large and rapid loading. This work will contribute to the fields of tissue mechanics,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program totaling $417,406 provides funding to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to investigate earthquake injury mechanisms and develop new models to predict earthquake impacts on health and life. The research aims to enhance the spatiotemporal granularity of infrastructure damage assessments and refine earthquake injury...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research to study how astrocytes, a critical cell type in the brain, respond to mechanical forces and strain associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The $705,806 award to Tufts University will fund the development of controlled 3D brain-like cell culture environments and ex vivo brain cultures to quantify astrocytes' acute and chronic responses to mechanical perturbation...
