- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of Southern California $296,591 on July 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to investigate cognitive mechanisms that enable humans to rapidly learn structured language systems. The project will run through June 30, 2029, and is performed in Los Angeles, California. The research combines behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and meta-analytic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $802,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). The grant funding will support a 3-year study to use behavioral and brain measures to investigate individual differences in auditory and written word inferencing skills among grade school children from low socioeconomic status homes. The goal is to identify factors...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $217,800 two-year Project Grant to researchers at Berkeley, California to study the contributions of the environment and social interaction to language emergence. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the researchers will investigate how environmental and social factors shape...
- This $699,977 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the impact of bilingualism on inhibitory control processes and executive function. The project, conducted by Nova Southeastern University, Inc., will use electroencephalography to directly measure brain activity while English-speaking monolinguals and Spanish/English bilinguals perform executive function tasks. The...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded $116,797 to the University of Texas at Austin on August 15, 2025, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to support language documentation and analysis research through July 31, 2028. This Project Grant investigates language shift and contact-induced language change through the collection, transcription, annotation, and computational...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $109,799 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research. The grant supports a collaborative research project to use sensing technology and automated speech recognition to capture teacher language interactions in diverse pre-K classrooms. The project aims to provide insights into how preschool language experiences shape children's language...
The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded The University of Texas at El Paso $291,204 on August 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct experimental research on how shared book reading interactions support dual language and literacy skills in preschool-age children. The research team designed custom dual-language books that systematically vary language balance (the proportion of text in each language) and language switching (mixing words from different languages within text) to test how book design influences children's acquisition of novel vocabulary in each language and story comprehension. The project investigates the hypothesis that these two features of language input affect learning outcomes in bilingual contexts. The work addresses language cognition theory while supporting practical applications in school readiness and multilingual speech recognition for artificial intelligence systems. The research team will make coding protocols, data, and other research products publicly available to advance open science and support researchers, clinicians, educators, and families. The project also provides training opportunities for students in cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience. Performance occurs in El Paso, Texas, with a period of performance through July 31, 2029.
