This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $714,203 to New York University (NYU) for a 3-year research project on how people adapt their planning behavior in response to uncertainty. The project aims to develop computational models that explain how people make tradeoffs between cognitive load and maximizing reward when facing stochasticity in their environments, such as unreliability,...
This $134,432 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project to build empirically informed models of scientific search and progress. The research aims to understand the causes behind the observed slowing of innovative activity in science, which is critical for advancing technology, fostering social development, and tackling global issues. By combining theoretical and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $174,399 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Texas A&M University for a 3-year project period starting September 1, 2024. The grant will fund research to investigate how leaders and followers can collaborate to optimize time management within organizations. The project consists of three mixed-methods studies to: 1) elucidate the conceptual nature of temporal management in leader-follower...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075), supports research to examine how people underestimate the meaningfulness of future life experiences and the factors that contribute to these misjudgments. The $379,151 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will fund field and laboratory experiments to test hypotheses about people's errors in anticipating the meaning of...
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 $212,791 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research aimed at understanding the incentives and constraints that influence scientists' willingness to pursue high-risk, high-return research projects. The researchers will develop and analyze mathematical models to examine how scientific norms, publication practices, and other factors impact scientists'...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, totaling $257,099, aims to investigate how leaders and followers can collaborate to optimize time management within organizations. The award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, supports a research team at The University of Iowa to conduct three mixed-methods projects. The first project will elucidate the conceptual nature and dimensionality of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports collaborative research to build empirically informed models of scientific search and progress.
The $265,102 award, with a project period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027, will enable a research team at Carnegie Mellon University to investigate factors that may be contributing to the observed decline in the rate of scientific innovation. Using...
This $440,837 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) grant awarded to the University of California, Berkeley aims to investigate the neural and computational mechanisms responsible for how people evaluate the costs and benefits of exerting mental effort on tasks. The research will model the explicit components of this cost-benefit analysis, including how people weigh potential outcomes, the efficacy of their efforts, and how to direct their...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) in the amount of $200,282 provides funding to North Carolina State University to conduct research on understanding and overcoming impediments to high-risk, high-return science. The researchers will develop and analyze mathematical models to examine how scientists balance competing incentives and constraints when pursuing their research programs, with a focus on...
