This two-year, $217,923 National Science Foundation project grant funds collaborative research on human networks, sustainable development, and lived experience in a nonindustrial society. Led by researchers from multiple universities and tribal communities, the grantees will investigate relationships between spatial patterns of social interaction and quality of life over 800 years in the Southwestern United States. They will combine existing demographic, socioeconomic, health, and...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $134,077 awarded on February 1, 2022 will fund research and collaboration at Michigan State University through January 31, 2024 under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The University of Kentucky Research Foundation is the awardee and will provide funding to support a research residency for a Principal Investigator and postdoctoral scholar. During the residency, they will collect field data through interviews and observations of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $100,000 to Kansas State University (KSU) to investigate how people self-organize to manage the use of natural resources, with a focus on native watershed habitat rehabilitation and maintenance in urban/rural settings. The project applies behavioral science research approaches to build communities and networks that help maintain vital natural resources. It develops...
This $400,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support the development of new kernel-based techniques for social network analysis. The research aims to advance methods for identifying and characterizing relationships between exogenous covariates in social networks, such as similarity in personal attributes, geographic proximity, or social context. The primary products will include new...
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 $149,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on network analysis and optimal transport methods for Markov embeddings of networks. The research project, led by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, aims to develop new statistical approaches for comparing and aligning networks, with applications in computational neuroscience, systems biology, and urban planning. The key products...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $350,550 to support the Global Coal Transitions Research Coordination Network. The Network coordinates social science research into the impacts of retiring coal facilities internationally under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). Led by The Ohio State University, the Network will organize workshops, a conference, and publish...
This $266,012 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The goal of this 5-year research project is to understand the role of phosphorus in the stabilization and persistence of soil organic matter. The project will use laboratory and field experiments, spectroscopic and microscopic tools to assess the ability of phosphorus on mineral surfaces to bind soil organic...
