This $131,078 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports a collaborative research project led by the Santa Fe Institute of Science to investigate how geographic contexts shape the formation of attitudes and influence the quality of interpersonal interactions. The project aims to advance theoretical and empirical understanding of attitude formation across different spatial scales, from the neighborhood to the city...
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 $106,623 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports collaborative research to understand how neighborhoods at the geographical margins of a city may or may not be socially peripheral to that city, and how that affects the historical trajectory of the city. The research team from the University of Illinois will use non-invasive geophysical survey, soil coring, and targeted excavation to examine...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $156,866 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program. The grant will fund research developing new statistical and econometric methods for analyzing social network data. Specifically, the project aims to build methodology for incorporating high-dimensional and incomplete network data into empirical models. Researchers will create a nonparametric regression framework for networks and investigate...
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 $383,941 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports the development of a collaborative digital platform and research network focused on mapping the historical origins of residential segregation patterns in U.S. urban areas. The key objectives are to create an open-access digital database and GIS mapping resources that enable interdisciplinary research on the locational attainments and household-level...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $350,000 to The Regents of the University of California for a research project examining city size and public service delivery. The University of California, Berkeley will document how access to and quality of basic health, education, and infrastructure services vary across cities of different sizes in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $104,825 to the University of Illinois to investigate the mechanisms of integration in U.S. communities. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using a mixed-methods, multiscalar approach, the researchers will map and explore stably integrated communities to explain their emergence and persistence. This will involve quantitative...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $400,000 to New York University (NYU) to research neighborhood mobility patterns and their relationship to community well-being. The key products and services to be delivered include: Identifying biases in large-scale mobility data and developing methods to correct them; modeling neighborhood connectedness networks using mobility data and analyzing how...
This $399,992 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports the development of a comprehensive curriculum and training program to enable social science researchers to leverage geospatial data and computational methods in their work. The project, led by Purdue University, aims to bridge the gap in geospatial and cyberinfrastructure literacy among social science scholars by creating a...
