This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $128,798 to Northern Kentucky University to conduct a longitudinal assessment of the impact of early life adversity on the development of social behavior in a non-human primate species. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the juvenile period and the proximate mechanisms underlying the relationship between early life...
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 three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $329,849 to San Diego State University Research Foundation to study factors affecting foraging and provisioning decisions in rapidly changing landscapes. The research will examine how human-modified habitats shape macaque behavior in agricultural intensification contexts and people's...
This $421,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a longitudinal study on the development of social integration in a non-human primate species. The research, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at Hunter College, examines how early rearing environments and maternal social networks impact the origins and evolution of social bonds and an individual's position...
This $452,989 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at California State University, Long Beach to examine the evolutionary demography of rhesus macaques. The project aims to understand how social factors impact individual phenotypes and life history traits in the population over time. Researchers will characterize physical and cognitive traits across macaque lifespans and relate these to social status. They will develop...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $184,647 supports research on understanding variation in patterns of aging in primates through an integrative comparative approach. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the three-year award to Arizona State University will analyze biological aging trajectories and individual differences across the lifespan using a longitudinal dataset of over 100 wild-living non-human primates. Key products include...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $130,808 supports research into signals of genetic quality and mate choice in nonhuman primates from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2026. The award is made under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences. Specifically, the University of Texas at Arlington will conduct field-based research to examine whether seasonal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship examining social interdependence in primate species. The research, conducted by an early-career scientist under the sponsorship of Drs. Joan Silk and Jason Kamilar at Arizona State University, aims to: Quantify how kinship, social status, and reproductive interests shape social relationships within and across primate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $160,000 Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) grant to an early career scientist for a 2-year project investigating the effects of early life adversity on DNA methylation and gene regulation in rhesus macaques. The goal is to provide a comprehensive systems-wide characterization of how early life adversity impacts DNA methylation patterns across primate physiology, and to assess the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program provides $198,092 to fund a survey-based research project examining risk perceptions and behavioral intentions related to the 2022 monkeypox outbreak. The award was made to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on November 1, 2022, with a completion date of October 31, 2023. Specifically, the funding will support a large-scale survey of 1,000 individuals to...
