Project Grant 2507321
- This $160,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship award was granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The funding supports an early career scientist to investigate how adults learn about and explain the causes of others' behavior over a 2-year project period from September 2024 to August 2026. The research aims to develop a computational model of action explanation by examining when traits versus situational factors or...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will fund a collaborative research project to study human planning and decision-making through the analysis of a massive dataset of chess games. The $562,614 award to New York University, with a project period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will leverage artificial intelligence techniques to gain insights into how individuals form complex...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research on the mechanisms and evolution of decision-making under conflict from the molecular to individual and population levels. The grant falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Funding will support the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $529,508 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals to leverage the brain's motivation system for arbitrary goals. The 3-year research project, starting on June 1, 2024, aims to uncover how learning and decision-making differ when people pursue familiar, objective rewards versus novel, self-imposed...
- This National Science Foundation award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $106,466 to The University of Iowa to fund research using laboratory experiments to study individual and team behavior in indefinitely repeated games. The research team will analyze subjects' actions and written or verbal communications as they participate in prisoner's dilemma and public good games with varying conditions over the one-year period from August 1, 2022 to...
- This $272,750 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports fundamental research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on how people make decisions and interact based on information. The key research focuses include: 1) understanding the long-term implications of people's limited or imperfect memory, which can lead to overconfidence and neglect of rare events; 2) examining how people decide...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how humans use detailed memories of past experiences to make adaptive decisions when facing uncertain futures. The $160,000 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027, will fund research conducted by an early career scientist under the sponsorship of...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $160,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a postdoctoral fellowship under the sponsorship of Dr. Julian Jara-Ettinger at Yale University. The project investigates how humans rapidly infer others' knowledge from subtle cues, such as response time and hesitation, to understand a critical capacity for effective communication. Through a combination of computational modeling and...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports a collaborative research project to develop new macroeconomic modeling approaches that incorporate learning through reasoning and experience. The $264,480 award, granted on August 15, 2025, will enable researchers at Duke University to create more realistic economic models that better approximate the actual decision-making behavior of people and firms....
- This $285,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research to develop new statistical methods to guide economic and public policy decisions in rapidly changing environments. The research aims to build on recent advances in statistical decision theory, causal inference, and machine learning to create econometric models that can effectively inform evidence-based policymaking while...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award, provided through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship for an early-career scientist to study human decision-making, learning, and innovation in novel systems of rules and reward. The $160,000 award, spanning January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027, will be used to conduct large-scale behavioral studies, including human-human gameplay experiments, to empirically validate a computational theory of how humans flexibly navigate and create new games and problem spaces. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of the cognitive processes underlying human adaptability and productivity in complex, multi-agent environments governed by diverse systems of rules and incentives.
