This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $300,000 to Florida State University (FSU) supports the development of a new class of latent variable models for network data. The research aims to create models that can capture essential characteristics observed in network data from various disciplines, including the social and life sciences. Key activities include integrating and extending existing approaches to modeling...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,284 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Regents of the University of Michigan Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as University of Michigan) to conduct a collaborative research study titled "HNDS-R: Stepping Out of Flatland: Complex Networks, Topological Data Analysis, and the Progress of Science." The 3-year project, beginning September 1, 2023, will use...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $350,000 is funding a research project at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of networks in influencing the outcomes of interventions across various domains, such as education, marketing, and tax decisions. The project will focus on developing new randomized experimental methods and open-source software to enable robust inference of network effects and quantify...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $775,089 Project Grant to the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will support research to develop innovative methods for collecting social network data inexpensively at scale. Researchers will use the new Aggregate Relational Data method to build two large datasets mapping socioeconomic relationships among vulnerable populations within local communities and across...
This $350,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports statistical modeling research for complex networks at the University of Michigan from September 2022 through August 2025. Funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award aims to develop new statistical methodologies and theory to incorporate higher-order structures into network modeling. Specifically, the investigators will study leveraging subgraphs and other higher-order structures...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to develop a simulation infrastructure to model the dynamic flow of information through human networks. The project, titled "HNDS-I: A Simulation Infrastructure to Model Dynamic Information Flow Through Human Networks," will use agent-based modeling techniques to incorporate features of information flow, network structures, and agent...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $254,295 supports the creation of a database and dashboard of ecosystem guidelines across 80 countries. The project will systematically compare countries' pledges related to international environmental agreements and their actual implementation practices across sectors such as energy, transportation, and agriculture. The data produced will allow scholars and analysts to study the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $265,830 project grant to Michigan State University on August 1, 2021 with a completion date of January 31, 2025. The grant falls under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields as well as monitoring science resources. Under this award, Michigan State University will build infrastructure for collecting longitudinal speech...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award for $544,082 supports research to examine the structural barriers and facilitators for translating academic research to inform public policy. The study will elicit problem definitions and recommendations from decision-makers at public universities and research-funding philanthropies regarding how to improve the development of university-based infrastructure for research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $318,903 to Northwestern University to conduct research on strategic behavior, beliefs, and interventions in social networks. The funded research covers four key projects: 1) analyzing how individuals learn from their social contacts and what network structures allow accurate belief formation; 2) studying strategic pricing decisions of firms in...
