This $276,839 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research study examining the impact of non-science isolation practices on scientific production and collaboration. The research aims to deepen understanding of how national scientific systems are interconnected with global economic and political dynamics, providing insights on the effects of scientific cooperation across countries...
This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research to understand how socioeconomic heterogeneity within the U.S. scientific workforce impacts scientific discovery and innovation. The project aims to (i) create a unique individual-level dataset linking researcher socioeconomic backgrounds to scholarly topics, (ii) make an anonymized version of this dataset publicly available, (iii)...
This $265,102 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The goal of the research is to build empirically informed models to better understand the causes behind the declining rate of scientific innovation and identify solutions to foster more scientific breakthroughs. The award supports a novel mixed-method approach that combines agent-based simulation modeling with empirical analysis of the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award for $544,082 supports research to examine the structural barriers and facilitators for translating academic research to inform public policy. The study will elicit problem definitions and recommendations from decision-makers at public universities and research-funding philanthropies regarding how to improve the development of university-based infrastructure for research...
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...
This $474,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research at Duke University to evaluate the impacts of declining public R&D investment and the pivot away from defense innovation in the U.S. The research aims to (i) examine the effects of federally-funded R&D on the development of complex, science-based "deep tech" innovations, and (ii) assess the impacts of major cuts to...
