- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $463,703 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to investigate the impact of learning opportunities on cognitive aging and brain structure in older adults. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year project include: 1) conducting behavioral studies to examine how new learning activities, activity challenge...
- This Project Grant award of $346,803, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research at the University of Chicago to test theories underlying what makes certain stimuli more memorable than others. The project aims to understand the underlying brain mechanisms that determine what information is prioritized for storage in human memory. The research utilizes behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial...
- This $778,024 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will support a 3-year longitudinal study to examine neurobiological and contextual factors that contribute to successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. The research team at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will use fMRI, behavioral measures, and questionnaires to test hypotheses that neural reward sensitivity, tolerance...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $149,999 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct a series of experiments exploring the cognitive benefits of bilingualism across the lifespan. The research aims to identify patterns of language and cognitive change in aging populations, with a focus on understanding the reasons why bilingual adults tend to preserve better cognitive...
- This $160,000 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the neural basis of social influence perception. Under the sponsorship of Drs. Shari Liu, Marina Bedny, and Tianmin Shu at Johns Hopkins University, the fellowship supports an early-career scientist who will use behavioral and neuroimaging methods to examine how the brain processes information about physical...
- This Project Grant award of $310,000.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Southern California (USC) from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028. The goal of this project is to develop mathematical and computational frameworks to investigate how networks of neurons and non-neuronal cells self-organize to perform complex learning and decision-making. The research aims to replicate the...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $625,000 will fund research into the brain network mechanisms underlying task-general cognition and intelligent human behavior from September 2022 to August 2025. Under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Rutgers University, Newark will investigate how dynamic activity flows within cognitive control networks implement intelligent goal-directed behavior across diverse tasks. Researchers will utilize brain...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Social Brain: Behavioral, Neural, and Transcriptomic Modulation of the Brain" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. This funding was provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major issues facing the nation. Over the two year period of performance in Columbia, Missouri, this award will allow the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $604,425.00 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to determine how the brain's memory systems help prevent competition and promote cooperation between memories to guide attention. The research, led by the University of California, Berkeley, will investigate the role of the hippocampus in minimizing confusion between similar memories and accurately directing attention, with potential...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) awarded Northeastern University $532,152 on May 1, 2025 to conduct research on the neurocognitive development of learning in adolescents. The project aims to investigate the cognitive and brain mechanisms related to learning from experience, and how these change from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. Using behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will provide $698,115 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate how brief social interactions can affect brain function and cognitive performance in older adults. The project will use advanced brain imaging techniques, such as functional MRI, to study how these interactions influence the brain's salience network and its connections to other brain systems related to attention, language, and movement. Physiological responses, including pupil size, skin conductance, and heart rate, will also be measured to understand how alertness and emotional engagement contribute to cognitive benefits. The goal is to uncover how social interactions promote cognitive flexibility in later life and translate these scientific discoveries into easy-to-use tools that caregivers and community programs can use to support healthy aging. The award period runs from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028.
