- This federal Project Grant award of $493,293 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to assess the effects and mechanistic processes of an innovative approach to intervention for math learning disabilities in children. The key products or services to be delivered under this grant include a clinical trial that will evaluate the impact of an...
- The University of Iowa was awarded a $425,662 Project Grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying mathematical difficulties in preterm-born children during the transition to formal schooling. The project will pursue two specific aims: 1) test a model linking gestational age to numerical skill...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,796,454.00 to New York University (NYU) to investigate how toddlers' everyday interactions and home environments support the development of early math cognition. The project aims to better understand the role of language and math-related materials in shaping toddlers' conceptual understanding of number, shape, size, and location between ages 18 to 30 months. Researchers will...
- This $1,142,622 federal Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to better understand the development and capacity of episodic future thinking (EFT) in early childhood. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: 1) quantifying the processing capacity of EFT during memory retrieval and planning in 3-4...
- The University of Massachusetts Amherst was awarded a $509,597 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant funds research to investigate how children develop an understanding that numbers can be generated indefinitely through rules, and to test a new hypothesis about how children acquire generative number concepts. Specifically, the project will test the...
- The University of California, San Diego will conduct a multi-year, multi-site collaborative research project on early childhood numeracy development under a $1.165 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The research will involve over 130 sites testing more than 3,000 children ages 2 to 5 years old across the United States and 27 other countries. Two foundational studies will examine how young children perceive and learn about...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research project investigating the conceptual foundations of early number development in toddlers and preschool-aged children. The $546,968 award to Trustees of Indiana University will fund two foundational studies examining how young children perceive quantity, learn number words, and track small groups of objects, as well as...
- This $325,000 National Science Foundation project grant to Carnegie Mellon University, funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support research examining the neural basis of mathematical cognition in early childhood and potential gender differences. The four-year award beginning September 2022 will fund the collection of longitudinal functional magnetic resonance imaging data and behavioral testing of children ages 4-8, along with tracking...
- This federal Project Grant award of $344,356.00 was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), to the University of Texas at Austin. The project, titled "Quantity Meets Quality: Examining Input Statistics for Early Word Learning from the Infant's Point of View," aims to examine how 12- to 24-month-old infants and their parents jointly create input statistics...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will provide $750,942 to researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) over a period of 3 years starting September 1, 2025. The research aims to investigate how children learn about numbers through non-visual senses, such as touch and sound, particularly for children with varying levels of visual acuity. The project will explore strategies for non-visual number learning and how...
This $514,457 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) on September 10, 2025. The grant supports research to understand the development of the approximate number system in humans and monkeys, which is crucial for early math abilities. The research will use child development methods, comparative studies with infant primates, and computational modeling to examine the roles of neural maturation, experience, and genetics on the approximate number system. The aim is to inform best practices for early math education, aid in diagnosing math learning disabilities, and provide an empirical basis for targeted interventions. The grant will be performed by the University of Wisconsin System, with the University of Wisconsin-Madison serving as the lead institution, and is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2030.
