Project Grant 2621569
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of Delaware $693,716 on July 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to investigate cognitive and neural representations of visual scenes. The research examines how the human mind and brain construct mental representations of surrounding space, objects, and layout to anticipate and navigate visual environments. The project contrasts two conceptualizations of scene...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $2.225 million to the Allen Institute on September 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for a collaborative U.S.-Israel research project on decision-making neuroscience. The project builds computational theory connecting brain anatomy, multi-regional neural dynamics, and behavior during decision-making. The research develops recurrent neural network models that...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded New York University $599,994 on September 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to investigate how human brains achieve cognitive efficiency and learn to think through multiple modes including planning, memory retrieval, and reasoning. The project, which runs through August 31, 2031, tests the theory that diverse human deliberation strategies emerge from a general principle...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded the University of Delaware a cooperative agreement valued at $5 million on July 15, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop and deploy human-AI cooperative systems for dynamic rehabilitation settings. The award funds the NSF AI Institute for Human-AI Cooperation, which will establish a symbiotic framework enabling AI systems to function as adaptive...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of California, San Diego $517,134 on August 15, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to develop mathematical methods for comparing neural representations across individuals and between human brains and artificial neural networks. The project develops optimal-transport-based techniques to measure how brains are alike and differ when responding to stimuli...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded the University of Delaware $235,384 on July 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to develop AI-enabled assessment tools and a comprehensive database supporting mathematics education research and teacher practice. The award funds compilation of fine-grained student learning and error data spanning grades 4–10 from over 3,500 students and 700,000 work samples. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Florida $890,113 on August 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct behavioral research on human-AI joint decision-making and metacognitive processes. The project, running through July 31, 2029, investigates how people learn to defer to AI systems that provide recommendations and confidence estimates across domains including medicine, education, science, business, and national security....
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $827,113 on August 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to develop computational cognitive models of open-ended decision making. The project combines laboratory and online experiments with choice-process measures—eye tracking, mouse tracking, and response times—to study how people make decisions when they generate options...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded the University of Delaware $579,891 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop mathematical and computational tools for modeling directed group interactions in complex systems. The project will create a unified framework for signal processing, structure learning, and neural network modeling on directed hypergraphs—network models whose...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded Rochester Institute of Technology $562,247 on August 15, 2026, for advancing NeuroAI through biologically-plausible self-supervised learning under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The project investigates the gap between artificial and natural intelligence by developing neuroscience-informed AI models that incorporate biological principles of brain function. The work focuses...
The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of Delaware $399,556 on September 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to investigate the neural and cognitive systems underlying human evaluation of and collaborative decision-making with both human and artificial intelligence agents. The project uses functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure neural activity associated with impression formation, social evaluation, and collaborative decision-making. Research will test whether neural responses during initial evaluations of human and AI partners predict subsequent decision-making and cooperative behavior in problem-solving tasks. By integrating neuroimaging and behavioral methods, the work will provide a mechanistic account of cognitive and neural processes underlying cooperation in human-AI interactions. Performance occurs in Newark, Delaware, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. No subawards are planned.
