This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $133,404 to fund a collaborative research project focused on investigating the early emergence of tool use in the human lineage. The funding supports research at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to expand the geological, paleontological, archaeological and hominin records at a site dating between approximately 3 and 2.6 million years ago. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), awards $317,985 to George Washington University to develop new methodologies for identifying evidence of organic (wooden) tool use in early human ancestors. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year project include: Collecting, documenting, and analyzing organic tools used by non-human primates to establish a catalogue of natural and artificial...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in the amount of $152,000. The grant supports a collaborative research project to conduct intensive paleontological and geological recovery at 6-million-year-old sites in order to advance the understanding of hominoid and hominin evolution. The project will retrieve fossil, paleoenvironmental, and geological...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $115,140 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Stony Brook University. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to uncover the adaptive origins of fossil apes through a multidisciplinary approach. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collecting fossil primate and other animal specimens through extensive field...
This $213,247 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research to advance understanding of how wear patterns form on stone tools and facilitate identification of worked materials. An interdisciplinary team of archaeologists and engineers will conduct controlled tribological experiments rubbing surrogate and organic materials against stone bits to generate...
This $599,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Texas at Austin to explore the cognitive processes and educational experiences that shape human capacity for tool innovation. The research project aims to deepen the understanding of how innovation develops and how it can be nurtured, particularly in the context of advancing technology. The investigators will use...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded Baylor University a $159,211 project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund collaborative research from September 2021 through August 2025 on the geological and paleoecological contexts of early Miocene hominoid evolution. As part of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program's goals to promote basic research and education in these...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $252,253 to Washington State University to investigate the relationship between economic and sociopolitical structures in a prehistoric society. The key activities include: Conducting excavations of known lithic (stone tool) production areas, analyzing previously excavated materials, and using geochemical analysis techniques like inductively coupled...
This $266,706 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports archaeological and paleoenvironmental research to study the role of coastal habitats in the survival of early humans. The research team at the University of Louisville will generate new empirical data in the form of stone artifacts, paleoenvironmental records, and geochronological data to understand the range of habitats exploited by...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $108,757, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to San Diego State University Foundation. The award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2026, supports a collaborative research project that investigates changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research...
