This $191,700 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program investigates changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene epoch. The research is conducted by Arizona State University (ASU) and expands upon an existing partnership to service students from historically disadvantaged groups. Key activities...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $193,608, was granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The primary objectives of this 5-year project are to: (1) characterize the evolutionary history and legacy of archaic ancestry in diverse non-African populations, (2) build a novel method to characterize the landscape of archaic ancestry in Africans, and (3) leverage the footprints of archaic ancestry to learn...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $269,998 supports research to reconstruct the lifeways of the earliest indigenous inhabitants of North America during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition period 12,000-9,000 years ago. The principal investigator, in collaboration with the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe, is studying a large ancestral burial site to investigate topics such as mobility, kinship, diet, and fertility...
This $185,194 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the role of human and animal mobility and migration in enabling the persistence of cities in fragile environments. Led by Stony Brook University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the research team will examine skeletal remains from one ancient city in a floodplain region using strontium, neodymium, and lead isotope analysis to determine the geographic origins of human and...
This $2,963,428 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop critical infrastructure components necessary for the interpretation of genomic data. The project will create cutting-edge tools, workflows, and tutorials to assist a wide audience of biology researchers in assembling and analyzing large genomes. This will streamline access to information important for biodiversity research, molecular genetics,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $321,936 supports research on human adaptation to extreme environments throughout history. The project, led by Texas A&M University, investigates multiple high-altitude archaeological sites to determine the resilience of small-scale foraging societies before the development of advanced civilizations. The research team will construct detailed radiocarbon records and analyze...
This $146,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075) supports collaborative paleontological and geological research to advance understanding of human origins and evolution. The project conducts intensive fieldwork and analysis to retrieve fossil, paleoenvironmental, and geological data from 6-million-year-old sites in Africa. Researchers will use a multi-proxy approach including phytolith analysis, stable isotope...
This $252,253 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, funds research to examine the relationship between economic and sociopolitical organization in a prehistoric society. The key activities include: Conducting excavations of known lithic (stone tool) production areas and geochemically sourcing the stone materials to trace the location and distribution networks of these tools. This innovative...
This $348,161 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation. The award will fund a collaborative research study examining the impact of isolation practices on global scientific cooperation, researcher mobility, and research productivity. The study will employ quasi-experimental methods to analyze how recent geopolitical events have affected international...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $108,757 to the San Diego State University Foundation will support a collaborative research project investigating long-term changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The project will analyze new archaeological data and leverage agent-based computer simulation modeling to...
