This $477,330 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on how basic cognitive functions impact couples' ability to resolve problems in long-term romantic relationships. The project, awarded to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G), examines how factors like memory, attention, and reasoning influence couples' effectiveness at generating solutions, understanding partner...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $307,284 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Regents of the University of Michigan Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as University of Michigan) to conduct a collaborative research study titled "HNDS-R: Stepping Out of Flatland: Complex Networks, Topological Data Analysis, and the Progress of Science." The 3-year project, beginning September 1, 2023, will use...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $509,806 to the University of Michigan to investigate the psychological characteristic of "self-promotive interdependence". This form of social motivation reflects how people can be driven to achieve goals and rewards, but see their success as primarily important for supporting their families and communities rather than just individual...
Wayne State University received a $500,053 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on July 1, 2021 to examine the inter- and intra-personal dynamics of detachment and recovery after a relationship ends. The three-year project, which will be completed by June 30, 2024, aims to contribute to scientific understanding in the area of social, behavioral, and economic sciences. Specifically, Wayne State University researchers will study how...
The University of Missouri System was awarded a $291,600 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to operate a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site focused on the scientific study of interpersonal relationships across the lifespan. The 9-week summer program will provide research experience and mentorship to 8 undergraduate students per year from 2023 through 2026. Each student will design a research project on close...
This $350,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports statistical modeling research for complex networks at the University of Michigan from September 2022 through August 2025. Funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award aims to develop new statistical methodologies and theory to incorporate higher-order structures into network modeling. Specifically, the investigators will study leveraging subgraphs and other higher-order structures...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a 5-year, $453,914 CAREER grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports a research project titled "GOING BEYOND THE DYAD: A NETWORK THEORY FOR UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES OF FRIENDSHIP." The project aims to identify the various challenges people face in realizing and maintaining friendships, as well as generate insights into...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $106,291, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support research to extend classical extreme value theory to models with interdependent numerical values and mean-field interaction. The project aims to study the convergence of upper and intermediate order statistics of certain systems of stochastic differential equations as their size grows, with applications in finance, medicine, and other...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award to Michigan State University (MSU) in the amount of $252,831 supports the development of guidelines for reporting about network data. The project aims to facilitate the collaborative development of these guidelines, which will enable network researchers to describe their data clearly, consistently, and transparently. This will enhance the value of existing network research by...
This $100,608 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the relationships between human activities, place attachment, and environmental factors. The project takes a mixed-methods approach, including mapping geographic patterns of human activities, to analyze how place attachments develop in response to changes in natural landscapes. The research findings will contribute to a...
