This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigation into how sleep facilitates the integration of new and existing memories. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms that enable this integration process, which is critical for building knowledge from new information encountered in daily life. The study will use electroencephalography (EEG),...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $350,000 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on how sleep and memory are linked in the brain. The key objectives are to leverage advanced neurophysiological techniques and statistical tools to observe how synaptic connections between neurons evolve during sleep and memory tasks. This integrated...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $332,602 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The award will support research from October 2021 through September 2022 to study the relationship between habitual sleep quality, neural activity in episodic memory networks, and episodic memory performance across the adult lifespan. A diverse sample of 90 young, middle-aged, and older adults without...
This $202,401 Project Grant was awarded to Furman University by the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a research project titled "RUI: Mechanisms of Memory Consolidation in Offline Wakefulness," which investigates how short periods of waking rest can improve memory consolidation, similar to the process that occurs during sleep. The project aims to deepen the understanding of memory and identify ways to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $442,938 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco to investigate the relationship between sleep, memory formation, and age-related cognitive decline. The key objectives are to:
Characterize how aging affects the sleep patterns and synaptic plasticity required for long-term memory consolidation in the C. elegans model system.
Determine if upregulation of the unfolded...
The University of Massachusetts (UMass) received a $601,763 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the CFDA 47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program. This 3-year research project aims to investigate the role of sleep-based reactivation in strengthening emotional memory, and whether reactivation has a stronger effect on emotional versus neutral memories. The research will use targeted memory...
This three-year, $742,283 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into understanding and enhancing human learning and memory consolidation processes. Awarded on August 1, 2021 under the SBE Sciences Directorate's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the grant supports work at Northwestern University through July 31, 2024. The university aims to advance basic scientific knowledge in this area, in line with the program's goals of contributing to scientific...
This $346,803 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the mechanisms underlying memory and the factors that influence what information people remember. The University of Chicago, the grant recipient, will conduct behavioral experiments, brain imaging (fMRI), and artificial intelligence modeling to test three key theories about what makes some items more memorable than...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $200,000 Project Grant to Brown University under the Integrative Activities (CFDA No. 47.083) program. The purpose of this collaborative U.S.-Israel research project is to investigate the neural mechanisms by which learning can be enhanced for both visual and motor skill acquisition. The research aims to integrate findings on memory reactivation and the role of sleep in facilitating skill learning, and to understand how these processes...
The National Science Foundation awarded $500,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, San Francisco for a project grant titled "Understanding Mechanisms of Semantic Memory through Intracranial Recording and Stimulation." The three-year project, running from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025, will utilize intracranial electroencephalography recordings from awake epilepsy patients to decipher how neural...
