- This collaborative research project, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), investigates how songbirds and humans learn new sounds and overcome phonological interference—the tendency for first-language (L1) sounds to interfere with second-language (L2) acquisition. The $389,498 Project Grant, awarded May 1, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2029, combines experimental research on zebra finch...

This collaborative research project investigates how songbirds and adult humans learn new sounds, with particular focus on overcoming phonological...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to Cornell University totals $421,321 and runs from January 15, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The grant funds research to investigate the function of acoustic fine structure (AFS) in natural zebra finch communication, with the goal of better understanding the perceptual abilities and communicative behaviors of birds compared to humans. Key research activities include: (1) determining whether perception...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $124,539 to support research examining the links between perception and production of second language speech sounds over time. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the two-year award to the University of Texas at Austin will lay the foundation for developing a comprehensive model of second language sound learning. Researchers will train...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $138,000 in funding to define the role of the ZEB2 gene in the development of convergent neural circuitry for vocal imitation in birds. The award period runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The research is part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which promotes progress in the biological sciences through basic research that increases...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $132,291 to the University of Chicago to conduct a longitudinal study examining the relationship between sound perception and sound production in second language learning. The goal is to better understand how these skills develop over time and interact, which will help inform more effective pronunciation training methods for language learners. The study will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $887,831 Project Grant under its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, will fund a collaborative research effort to study the neurological factors underlying individual variability in auditory learning and second-language acquisition. The research will integrate attention monitoring via pupil dilation and neuromodulation through vagus nerve stimulation to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports fundamental research to explore the cultural evolution and development of bird songs. The $352,744 award, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will be conducted by the President & Trustees of Williams College. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) understand the tradeoffs between the effectiveness of a song in attracting mates and the...
- The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct collaborative research on individual variability in auditory learning. The research aims to develop a non-invasive device that integrates attention and neuromodulation to enhance second language acquisition, particularly for underserved communities. The multi-modal,...
