Grant Award Summary George Mason University received a $495,396 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CFDA 47.070: Computer and Information Science and Engineering program) on June 15, 2026, for research addressing adolescent resilience in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic personalization. The project, which extends through May 31, 2031, develops and delivers evidence-based tools and interventions to help adolescents recognize and manage algorithmic influence from personalized social media feeds and AI chatbot technologies. The research synthesizes qualitative, quantitative, and participatory design methodologies to examine how adolescents experience and respond to recommender systems and generative AI, with specific focus on impacts to self-concept clarity, emotional regulation, and attentional autonomy. The primary deliverables include a paper-based intervention tool (the Algorithmic Self Defense framework) and evidence-based resources designed for independent use by adolescents and implementation across schools, libraries, and youth organizations. The project advances the Resilience Framework, a sociotechnical model explaining how adolescents maintain self-directed identity in algorithmically personalized environments. Foundational research phases employ interviews, diary studies, and survey instruments to measure relationships between algorithmic shaping, attention disruption, and emotional well-being, while subsequent phases utilize participatory co-design activities with adolescents to develop practical intervention mechanisms that mitigate negative impacts of AI personalization on healthy adolescent development.
