The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $217,772 Project Grant through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Alabama, effective July 1, 2024. This 3-year research project aims to investigate how individuals process information and make decisions when faced with prospects characterized by multiple layers of risk and/or ambiguity, such as those related to climate change or public health emergencies. The project will outline a series of...
This $549,953 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research to understand and predict decision-making among vulnerable populations, such as older adults, during disasters. The award titled "PREPARING OLDER ADULTS: COMMUNICATING THREAT RISK IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS (PRO-ACTIVE)" will use virtual reality experiments to examine differences in risk perception and protective action decisions across various...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science Project Grant, titled "Coping with Compounding Risk and Uncertainty: A Longitudinal Study of Cascading Collective Stress in a Probability-Based-US Sample," is being awarded to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) for $1,018,693.00. The project commenced on June 15, 2023 and will run until May 31, 2026. The primary objectives of this study are to: (1) examine how exposure to compounding...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds a planning project to investigate effective science communication strategies for informing the public about environmental hazards like wildfires and landslides. The project collaborates with vulnerable communities to understand their mental models of hazards and develop evidence-based messaging to motivate protective behaviors. The planning...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $207,842 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Oregon (UO). The grant, with a project period from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027, will fund research to investigate effective methods for communicating quantifiable health risks to the public in order to increase comprehension and promote healthy behaviors. The project will develop a theory-based taxonomy of risk communication...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award for $181,696 examines how recent wildfire exposure affects public perceptions and support for proactive wildfire risk reduction policies. The researchers will conduct a survey experiment to investigate: How people perceive the reduction in wildfire risk from previous and planned forest thinning activities People's preferences for allocating wildfire risk reduction investments...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $284,044 to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to assess the adaptability of resilience models across multiple scales in addressing hazards such as hurricanes and wildfires. The research project employs a mixed-method, multi-sited approach including public conferences, hazard mapping, and risk perception surveys to identify factors that facilitate or...
This $212,791 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research aimed at understanding the incentives and constraints that influence scientists' willingness to pursue high-risk, high-return research projects. The researchers will develop and analyze mathematical models to examine how scientific norms, publication practices, and other factors impact scientists'...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $321,936 supports research on human adaptation to extreme environments throughout history. The project, led by Texas A&M University, investigates multiple high-altitude archaeological sites to determine the resilience of small-scale foraging societies before the development of advanced civilizations. The research team will construct detailed radiocarbon records and analyze...
