Barnard College received a $796,437 Project Grant award dated September 15, 2026, through the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Multidisciplinary Activities under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This CAREER award funds fundamental neuroscience research aimed at mapping how the human brain processes multiple words simultaneously during reading, with completion targeted for August 31, 2031. The primary research deliverables include neural mapping studies combining precision vision and reading tests with brain imaging experiments to identify the spatial boundaries of word recognition and evaluate how linguistic context facilitates multiple-word recognition in skilled readers. The project employs neuroimaging and computational analyses to address gaps in understanding how the brain extracts meaning from letter strings, with potential applications for artificial intelligence systems performing similar text processing functions. Beyond laboratory research, the award supports workforce development and public engagement outcomes. Deliverables include hands-on computational training for undergraduate STEM students, an annual Visual Illusion Fair for local schoolchildren, and professional development workshops for teachers. These educational and outreach components are designed to bridge fundamental brain research with practical innovations that strengthen the national workforce while advancing literacy strategies benefiting individuals with dyslexia, stroke, or visual impairments.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
