The key products and services to be delivered include: Identifying biases in large-scale mobility data and developing methods to correct them; modeling neighborhood connectedness networks using mobility data and analyzing how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) will support collaborative research at Drexel University to evaluate and predict the relationship between sustainable urban design initiatives and gentrification processes in the city of Philadelphia. The $225,000 award, effective from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2026, will fund the development of artificial intelligence computer vision methods and machine learning models to identify...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a research project at Yale University that aims to understand the long-term impacts of neighborhood revitalization policies on individual and family economic outcomes. The $302,586 award, with a performance period from August 2025 to July 2028, will enable the researchers to systematically analyze historical records and administrative data using advanced...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Florida (UF) in the amount of $250,000 on Aug 15, 2025. The objective of this 5-year CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) project is to support research on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into spatial planning methodologies and processes, particularly for informing long-term disaster recovery. The project will explore...
- This $540,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to introduce a new class of intelligent, dynamic built environments that continuously interact with occupants to monitor, interpret, and respond to their mental states. The goal is to create responsive, adaptive workspaces that can minimize distractions and enhance sustained focus, thereby alleviating mental strain and promoting cognitive well-being and productivity. The 3-year...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $200,000 to Stanford University over 3 years, starting July 1, 2024, to research and develop a community-driven vehicular and mobile crowdsensing system to measure neighborhood conditions and factors impacting the wellbeing of homeless populations in San Jose, CA. The project aims to: (1) develop methods to reconstruct citywide maps of neighborhood environments and service needs, (2)...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $749,755 to Carnegie Mellon University to develop a human-centric intelligent facilities integration framework. The project aims to create new computational models and privacy-preserving technologies to better predict and adapt to human behavior and interactions within dynamic facility environments. The research bridges behavioral science,...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, seeks to investigate transit-induced commercial and residential gentrification and displacement through a novel integration of historical business and household microdata with street-view imagery and online data. The $396,600 award to North Carolina State University, made on August 15, 2024, will develop advanced AI techniques and tools to analyze...
This $407,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to develop a novel, data-driven, AI-enhanced framework for evaluating how the physical features of cities, such as land use and street network design, impact human well-being in terms of stress, cognition, and emotional health. The project involves three phases: 1) using machine learning to group neighborhoods by form characteristics, 2) conducting controlled experiments in these neighborhoods to assess the impact of different urban forms on well-being using biosignal data and standardized assessments, and 3) integrating findings into new planning guidelines sensitive to both global patterns and local needs. The grant recipient, Villanova University, will collaborate with local stakeholders and students to translate the research into actionable, evidence-based design recommendations to support healthier and more resilient communities.
