Project Grant 2441861
- This $343,324 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Northeastern University to develop empirically validated perceptual tasks for data visualization. The goal is to refine and evaluate a model of the lower-level perceptual processes underlying higher-level data analysis and visualization tasks. Researchers will conduct qualitative studies to document how people decompose tasks and then empirically evaluate proposed perceptual subtasks like filtering images, judging...
- This $187,194 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a research study on how effectively data visualizations communicate scientific information to the general public. The researchers at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) will conduct an online survey of 2,000 U.S. adults to evaluate their understanding and interpretation of different data visualization designs, such as bar and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,518 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Maryland, College Park. This five-year grant, which began on September 1, 2023, will support research into "Manipulable Semantic Components in Data Visualization Design." The key focus of the project is to develop new interaction paradigms for data visualization design, enabling flexible manipulation of graphical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) awarded a $222,663 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to support research focused on developing techniques to help data analysts assess the reliability of insights derived from data visualizations. The key objectives of this 20-month project are to: (1) develop methods for capturing analysts' beliefs, expectations, and intentions during visual data...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to Northeastern University provides $300,000 to develop a guide for ethical and effective practices for statistical graphics. The project aims to create guidelines that will help scientists across STEM disciplines communicate their research findings transparently, honestly, and mindfully through data visualizations. The project involves interviews with practitioners and ethicists, as well as...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $550,000 project grant to Arizona State University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) for the period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. The grant will support the development of novel techniques and open source software tools to enable the creation of privacy-preserving data visualizations. A visualization grammar will be established to specify visualization designs that consider...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Northwestern University a $532,579 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research to develop design guidelines for dynamic visualizations. The Computer and Information Science and Engineering program supports investigator-initiated research and education in computing, communications, and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $500,000 in funding to the University of Washington to develop an online platform that helps university students learn how to use complex data visualization tools like D3. The objective is to model how students learn new data visualization tools, with an initial focus on D3, in order to develop personalized learning approaches to...
- This three-year, $350,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to develop a knowledge platform and related tools to bridge the gap between visualization research and design practice. Specifically, the Trustees of Boston College will receive funding to build a comprehensive online framework for improving access to and learning about effective visualization design principles. This framework will consolidate existing...
- This $385,790 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instruction by developing resources to teach the design of effective data visualizations using artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The project at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) will produce a suite of educational resources, including a wiki and video tutorials, to demonstrate how to apply graphic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Project Grant, awarded under CFDA 47.070, will fund research to develop an evidence-based and holistic approach to studying the quality of data visualizations and creating design guidelines for effective graphics. The $221,317 award will support experiments to evaluate a wider range of measures and use cases for how people use graphics, and then applying those findings to create guidelines for designing effective data visualizations. The guidelines and experimental methods will be made available to scientists communicating their work to the public. The research will also be integrated into math and statistics education courses, as well as outreach activities with middle and high school teachers, to enhance data visualization skills across educational settings. The project aims to improve visual communication of data by grounding graphics design in empirical studies evaluating their effectiveness across real-world tasks.
