The University of Minnesota received a $432,014 Project Grant awarded on April 15, 2026, by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). This five-year research initiative, concluding March 31, 2031, addresses the mechanisms by which social media use affects mental well-being and develops technological solutions to mitigate potential harms. The research team will deliver empirical studies characterizing problematic engagement infrastructure elements, validated typologies of harmful design mechanisms, and multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) models capable of detecting when harmful usage patterns are occurring on social media platforms. Building on these scientific findings, the project will produce new platform design interventions and algorithmic improvements aimed at reducing well-being harms, along with detection tools that help users understand the benefits and risks of social media engagement. The research team will also develop public engagement deliverables—including dissemination of scientific results and policy recommendations—targeted at industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the general public. These integrated products and services represent the university's contribution to advancing foundational knowledge in human-computer interaction and information systems while translating research insights into practical improvements to social media engagement infrastructure.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
