- This $100,608 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The project investigates the relationships between human activities, place attachments, and environmental factors, with the goal of developing a generalized theory on how external pressures influence attachment to places. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, including mapping geographic patterns of human...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $113,613 to Purdue University to study mechanisms behind participation in conservation programs. The research will examine how financial incentives, social and cultural factors, and individual personalities and values interact to shape willingness to accept payments for environmental conservation. Researchers will combine in-depth interviews with a large-scale...
- This $595,183 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project that examines the factors influencing the spread and persistence of dynamic social norms. The project investigates attributes like trend longevity, universality, shared cause, and sufficiency that can encourage individuals to adopt emerging social behaviors and beliefs, particularly in the context of addressing societal...
- This Project Grant award for $738,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a study examining how land management practices after government-funded property buyouts can integrate ecosystem services and community preferences to improve ecological and societal outcomes. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Conducting field research to document current land uses, estimate ecosystem...
- This $398,374 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project examining factors that drive the regeneration of forests in developing regions that have been deforested. The research combines satellite imagery and ethnographic methods to analyze how rural-to-urban land sales and the priorities of urban landowners contribute to tree cover gain. The project will expand geographic...
- This $148,477 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project at Pennsylvania State University. The project explores how scientific messages about environmental adaptation shape people's decisions, especially when their beliefs about the environment, politics, and other issues are closely connected. The research aims to clarify how these choices can unintentionally...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $107,400 project grant to support knowledge co-production for collaborative environmental management in Ithaca, NY from September 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022. The grant was awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields as well as monitor science investments. Funds will support efforts to contribute scientific findings and foster collaboration...
- This $309,338 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a study of the impacts of coastal and marine resource shifts on local fishing communities. The principal investigators will track the relationships that emerge when new resource management policies and laws are implemented, and measure how communities adapt to these changes over time. The research aims to contribute to social...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Social and Economic Science, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $292,095 to Arizona State University from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant funds collaborative research on explaining differential success in biodiversity knowledge commons. The Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program supports basic research and education to contribute to scientific...
- This $254,295 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a collaborative research project to create a database and dashboard of ecosystem guidelines for 80 countries. The project aims to systematically study how nations' pledges in international agreements are executed in practice across key sectors like energy, industry, and agriculture. The research will assess national guidelines against expert...
This $369,999 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Bates College. The grant will fund research examining factors that influence individuals' willingness to participate in payment for ecosystem services programs. Using experimental methods and simulations, the researchers will investigate how individual preferences, behavioral norms, demographics, environmental heterogeneity, and programmatic messaging affect participation in these land use management programs. The project also aims to enhance the education and training of undergraduate students involved in the research. The experimental results will be used to parameterize agent-based models to gain insights into the importance of individual motivations and spatial considerations. The findings will be disseminated to officials and organizations, and software developed as part of the project will be made available for future research. Subawards are planned under this grant.
