Project Grant 2532414
- This Project Grant award of $195,771 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the Sub-National Nonstate Actor Governance (SNAG) Project. The project aims to develop a new measurement strategy and public dataset to track territorial control by state and nonstate actors within conflict zones over time. The researchers will use machine learning and natural language processing techniques to analyze open-source text data to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the Regents of the University of Michigan. This 3-year award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, supports the development of innovative "hunt-and-test" statistical methods to reliably detect signals in complex data while avoiding false discoveries due to double dipping. The research aims to enhance the robustness...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 project grant to Fordham University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support research investigating new methods and tools to design software accounting for legal and regulatory requirements. Specifically, the university researchers will develop integrated methods aligning legal and engineering considerations from project inception. They will prototype collaboration tools...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $509,806 to the University of Michigan to investigate the psychological characteristic of "self-promotive interdependence". This form of social motivation reflects how people can be driven to achieve goals and rewards, but see their success as primarily important for supporting their families and communities rather than just individual...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the development of advanced statistical methodologies to improve the reliability of causal conclusions from complex, observational data. The $108,000 project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will enhance distributional balancing methods to account for data dependency structures and unobserved confounding factors. This...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career researcher investigating legislative activities in city councils across the United States. The 2-year project, which commenced on August 15, 2024, aims to build an original dataset of legislative actions in hundreds of city councils and analyze differences in the topics and scope of those actions across cities and over time. The research will use...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $215,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HCC: SMALL: ACCOUNTING FOR FOCUS AMBIGUITY IN VISUAL QUESTIONS," aims to develop AI-based solutions that can identify and resolve ambiguities in questions about images. The key products and services to be delivered include: An innovative AI model that can...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop new analytical tools for making informed decisions based on complex, unstructured data types such as text, images, and gene expressions. The $329,020 grant, awarded on June 15, 2025, focuses on three primary research objectives: 1) Developing novel causal inference methods to model complex...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $470,670.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) Federal Grant Program. The award aims to investigate the incentives that influence participation in data sharing and collaborative machine learning, with the goal of creating environments where data sharing supports collaboration and innovation. The research will focus on developing theoretical foundations and protocols...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $100,000 supports research at the University of California, Davis to develop tools and resources for transitioning open-source software projects to accountable community governance. The award period is from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The project pursues three research questions using data science, case studies, and software engineering. Researchers will study how open-source communities define accountability systems and how these evolve with...
This federal Project Grant award for $150,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EAGER: FDASS: INTERROGATING CONFLICTING ACCOUNTABILITIES", will be conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2027. The key objectives of this research project are to: (1) empirically identify and interrogate the conflicting incentives, organizational practices, and understandings of accountability when automated decision systems are deployed in public administration contexts; and (2) develop research-driven frameworks, including socio-legal and technical guidance, to support accountability in the adoption and use of software systems by government agencies. The project will focus on the specific case of fraud detection systems for government benefits to generate actionable insights for ensuring efficient and legitimate public service delivery through the use of automated decision-making technologies.
