This $297,513 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research that examines how scientific messaging about environmental adaptation shapes individual decision-making, particularly when people's beliefs about climate, politics, and other issues are interconnected. The project aims to develop new conceptual frameworks, methodological tools, and survey-based approaches for analyzing "belief...
This $595,183 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project that examines the factors influencing the spread and persistence of dynamic social norms. The project investigates attributes like trend longevity, universality, shared cause, and sufficiency that can encourage individuals to adopt emerging social behaviors and beliefs, particularly in the context of addressing societal...
This $364,766 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports fundamental research on the psychology of mass behavior and how large groups of people reason, form beliefs, and interact. The research project, conducted by the University of California, Santa Barbara, aims to extend behavioral economics methods to understand how individuals respond to and reason about the behavior of large groups. Key areas...
This $191,980 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research examining the impact of displacement on the development of social preferences and trust in children. The project, conducted by the University of Chicago, will study how displacement caused by conflicts and climate change affects children's and adolescents' social behaviors, trust, cooperation, and adherence to social norms. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $242,570 to the President and Board of Trustees of Santa Clara College to conduct research on differences in co-authorship patterns across a global landscape. The study aims to understand how the collaborative context affects scientific outcomes differently for scientists in various categories, focusing on the role of network structure in scientific...
This $143,126 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports collaborative research at Macalester College to study how the growing scale and organization of scientific knowledge impacts the pace of scientific discovery. The project will apply topological data analysis techniques to bibliometric and grant payment data to examine concept...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $100,608 to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate the role of environmental factors in mediating the connections between human activities and the development of place attachment.
