This federal Project Grant award, valued at $941,616.00 and provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants, supports research to investigate the relationship between food cue exposure, food craving, and binge eating behaviors, and how these relationships are influenced by attention and memory processes. The key objectives are to use ecological momentary assessment and electroencephalography to examine how food cue exposure...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
This $256,049 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an international research collaboration investigating the relationship between cultural values, social norms, and human health outcomes. The project utilizes ethnographic and biomarker data collection methods to evaluate how individuals' adherence to or deviation from shared cultural values affects their mental and physical health, particularly...
This two-year, $158,962 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Old Dominion University to understand declines in sustained attention over time. Funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the research will combine behavioral experiments with statistical modeling. Experiments in a driving simulator and other tasks will examine how automated controls, mental rest, task difficulty and dual-task loads affect vigilance. Researchers...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $648,655 in funding to Miami University to investigate how childhood experiences, such as maltreatment and parenting quality, predict daily emotional reactivity to stress in adulthood. The research aims to inform the design of interventions to help people respond constructively to daily stress. The project builds on the long-running Minnesota Longitudinal...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $606,480.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research examining the impact of social media use on the mental health and academic achievements of adolescents. The research team at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) will conduct an experimental study, randomly assigning adolescents to a treatment group that receives incentives to reduce social...
This $327,885 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a study on the efficacy of various mindfulness activities in mitigating the global risk of mental illness. The 5-year project, awarded to The Trustees of Davidson College, will examine online and offline mindfulness efforts, analyze how the "attention economy" mediates these activities, and integrate the research findings into an...
Kent State University was awarded a $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on August 15, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to contribute to scientific strength and welfare through promotion of basic research and education in social, behavioral and economic sciences. Under this award, Kent State University will...
This Project Grant award, totaling $701,218, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The award will fund a research project that aims to study the interactions among major government transfer programs, including SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and CHIP. The researchers will investigate two key aspects: how to best administer these programs to improve targeting, and the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $440,837 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, for a 2-year research project titled "CAREER: The Vital Role of Motivation in Cognition". The project investigates the neural and computational mechanisms underlying how people make decisions about exerting mental effort to achieve...

This $380,195 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research conducted by Kent State University to examine the impact of attention-related health cognitions as a chronic stressor. The project aims to identify physical, psychological, and behavioral indices that can be targeted to help reduce obesity and promote physical activity.

Specifically, the research involves three lab experiments to test whether attention-related health cognitions cause increases in stress, changes in eating behavior and emotionality, and perceptions of exercise difficulty. Additionally, short-term longitudinal methods will evaluate whether these cognitions induce restrictive dieting or overeating/binge eating behaviors, as well as associated emotional changes. The research also includes an integrated education plan to train emerging scientists at the high school, college, and graduate levels through new classes, research opportunities, and evidence-based mentoring strategies. This work is intended to establish attention-related health cognitions as a chronic stressor with direct impacts on physiological, behavioral, and psychological outcomes, with the goal of informing interventions to address obesity.
