This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $134,432.00 supports collaborative research to empirically model scientific search and progress. The research team, led by the Regents of the University of Minnesota, aims to investigate causes behind the declining rate of scientific innovation and identify policies to foster more impactful breakthroughs. Using a mixed-method approach combining agent-based simulation models and empirical analysis of the scientific record, the project examines both internal factors (e.g., knowledge proliferation) and external factors (e.g., funding incentives, publishing pressures) that influence scientific progress. This award, valid from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027, will provide a deeper understanding of the drivers and barriers to innovation to inform policy decisions and create a more conducive environment for scientific breakthroughs. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
