This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under CFDA 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) will provide $200,000 in funding to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research examining how organizations have sought to resolve international crises and strengthen governance and trust globally. The research will trace efforts from the end of World War I to the present, drawing on history, international relations, sociology, and political science to understand the...
This Project Grant award of $214,408 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research on the development of cooperative norms and behaviors in childhood. The central hypothesis is that cooperative decisions are driven not only by external factors, but also by internal motives that are acquired during childhood. The research team will use longitudinal behavioral methods, computational modeling, and movement tracking to...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research on the cultural contexts and developmental outcomes of childhood exploration and interactions with nature. The $142,165 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will examine children's independent exploration and time spent in different environments (e.g., green spaces versus playgrounds) across two societies where such...
This $276,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program will support computational and developmental research into children's self-representations and learning decisions. Specifically, the awardee will build a quantitative computational model integrating children's self-observations and social feedback to explain self-concept development. This model will be tested against adult data and developmental findings. It will also be...
