This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SPRF) Program award of $160,000 supports a 2-year postdoctoral research project investigating how mothers facilitate their infants' access to the environment as their motor skills develop. The research will assess mothers' beliefs about their infants' abilities, characterize mothers' support behaviors, and identify profiles of maternal support that enable infant exploration. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $142,165 supports a collaborative research study on the impact of childhood exploration and interaction with nature across different cultural contexts. The research team at Widener University will investigate children's independent exploration behaviors, the types of environments they engage with, and how these experiences relate to spatial cognition, executive function, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $138,337 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) to study the temporal structure of infants' everyday behaviors, including language and play interactions in the home environment. The project aims to investigate how the temporal patterns of infant vocalizations, maternal speech, and infant object play relate to the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $410,651 over 3 years to New York University (NYU) to investigate the temporal structure of infant behaviors, including vocalizations, play, and language interactions within home environments. The project aims to describe the unfolding of these behaviors over time, test associations between infant and maternal vocal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Federal Grant Award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $299,571 to Michigan State University to develop an innovative wearable sensing system that automatically detects a range of infant behaviors for long durations in the home environment. The objective is to examine the role of pre-walking strategies in the development of walking through precise measurements of activities like standing, cruising, falls,...
This National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award, funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.075), supports a collaborative research project titled "The Temporal Structure of Infants' Everyday Behaviors: Language and Play Interactions in the Home Environment." The $145,840 project, awarded to the University of Oregon on September 1, 2023 with a completion date of August 31, 2026, investigates how the...
This Project Grant, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075), will address two key research questions: (1) whether infants' motor skill acquisitions are related to the specific words they learn, and (2) whether language input that aligns with infants' motor actions facilitates word learning. The $380,398 award, effective August 1, 2024 and running through July 31, 2028, will support the University of Alabama's...
This Project Grant award for $146,005 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to examine how family stress and cohesion relate to a young child's language environment and language acquisition. The project consists of two studies. The first study will conduct a secondary analysis of existing data from 100 families with 3- to 5-year-old children to test how aspects of the natural home environment, including...
This $421,587 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research study investigating the impact of rearing practices on the social integration of a non-human primate species across the lifespan. The study follows individuals from birth to adulthood, analyzing allomaternal (non-mother) care and how social bonds form to understand the origins and development of social...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $161,964 supports research at Tulane University from April 2023 through March 2026 under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083). The research will study the effects of cultural consonance on early childhood development among families living in poverty. Researchers will interview 100 caregivers and their children to analyze whether caregivers living according to shared cultural values promote more stimulating activities...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $233,862 aims to study how the use of a specialized child-rearing cradle impacts infant motor, social, and communication development during the first two years of life. The research will compare infants experiencing high levels of movement restriction through extensive cradle use versus those with less restriction. The project, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), will use a combination of developmental tests, naturalistic observations, and detailed time logs to examine how varying degrees of movement restriction affect key aspects of infant development. By studying this cultural childrearing practice, the project seeks to uncover important insights about human development pathways. The award runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028.
