This award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $778,024 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The funding will support a longitudinal study examining neurobiological and social factors that promote healthy development during the transition to adulthood. Researchers will use functional MRI, behavioral measures, and questionnaires to investigate how...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will provide $500,000 to Dartmouth College over a 4-year period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2028. The funding will support research to examine the computational and neural mechanisms underlying social learning in social networks. The project will leverage computational modeling and neuroimaging experiments to explore how factors like environmental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, provides $150,000 in funding to Lehigh University for a collaborative research project titled "DYNAMIC BRAIN GRAPH MINING - MAPPING THE CONNECTIONS IN HUMAN BRAINS AS NETWORKED SYSTEMS." The project aims to develop new methods for modeling the dynamics of brain graphs derived from neuroimaging data, in order to generate accurate, interpretable, and fair predictions about...
This $466,640 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to measure how visual spatial attention matures from childhood to adulthood. The primary goals are to understand how the parietal lobe and cerebellum regions of the brain coordinate their development to support a child's ability to visually attend to their environment, which underlies skills like reading. The research involves using...
This four-year, $190,809 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will fund research at the University of Minnesota to develop new computational tools and models for understanding human brain development.
Specifically, the grantee will integrate a large longitudinal neuroimaging dataset spanning adolescent development with novel network science and control theory approaches. The goal is to quantify the internal mechanisms...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $625,000 will fund research into the brain network mechanisms underlying task-general cognition and intelligent human behavior from September 2022 to August 2025. Under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Rutgers University, Newark will investigate how dynamic activity flows within cognitive control networks implement intelligent goal-directed behavior across diverse tasks. Researchers will utilize...
This $325,000 National Science Foundation project grant to Carnegie Mellon University, funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support research examining the neural basis of mathematical cognition in early childhood and potential gender differences. The four-year award beginning September 2022 will fund the collection of longitudinal functional magnetic resonance imaging data and behavioral testing of children ages 4-8, along with tracking...
This $156,019 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California Irvine on October 1, 2024. The project aims to develop soft, conformable neural interface devices that can monitor brain activity in immature rodents as they perform natural behaviors. The goal is to identify neural signatures associated with the emergence of cognitive processes and map developmental trajectories...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Social Brain: Behavioral, Neural, and Transcriptomic Modulation of the Brain" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. This funding was provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major issues facing the nation. Over the two year period of performance in Columbia, Missouri, this award will allow the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $399,978 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to the College of Charleston. The grant aims to develop and test a web-based platform that uses neural connectivity data to improve student learning of neuroanatomy. Key products to be delivered include:
Revising and expanding an interactive graphical software system called "Show Me the Brain!!" to include 3D models of...
