This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $318,903 to Northwestern University for research projects investigating network theory, from March 2025 to July 2025. The four key projects include: 1) analyzing how network structures impact the formation of accurate beliefs; 2) studying strategic pricing decisions of firms within supply chain networks; 3) examining network properties that sustain polarization...
This $221,164 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award to Washington State University supports research examining the impacts of environmental changes on traditional food practices and subsistence strategies of small-scale societies. The project integrates archaeological dietary data with high-resolution paleoclimatic records to evaluate how fluctuations in environmental conditions affected the availability of food resources...
This federal Project Grant award of $265,102 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports collaborative research aimed at understanding the factors impacting scientific innovation and progress. The research team from Carnegie Mellon University will combine theoretical and empirical studies, including agent-based simulation modeling and analysis of the scientific record, to investigate the internal dynamics of scientific...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $100,000 to Kansas State University (KSU) to investigate how people self-organize to manage the use of natural resources, with a focus on native watershed habitat rehabilitation and maintenance in urban/rural settings. The project applies behavioral science research approaches to build communities and networks that help maintain vital natural resources. It develops...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a research project at Emory University to investigate whether post-conflict economic recovery programs impact social cohesion in displacement-affected communities. The $147,609 award, running from August 2024 to July 2026, will use a randomized controlled trial methodology to address three key research questions: (1) how economic livelihood programs affect...
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) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program grant, awarded under the CFDA 47.041 - Engineering program, supports research to model service interactions at a micro-level, rather than using traditional system-level approaches. The $525,009 award to the University of Southern California aims to establish and analyze stochastic models of service interactions, with the goal of improving managerial decision-making, introducing new operational problems,...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075), supports research to understand the relationships between geographic location and science career decisions among graduate students. The $127,331 award to the West Virginia University Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization, will implement a survey of 4,000 graduate students in five science disciplines to assess how family and community ties...
This $106,000 Project Grant Award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to design and optimize smart technological environments that can enhance the learning, creativity, and effectiveness of work teams, community groups, classrooms, and other collectives. The 3-year project will involve the development of large-scale online experiments and computational models to understand the parameters that drive...
This $387,267 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Washington under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The research will examine the effectiveness of multi-faceted antipoverty programs targeting entire low-income communities versus only the poorest households. Using randomized controlled trials across many communities, the researchers will assess impacts of the program on household poverty, income, wealth and women's...
