The Naval Air Warfare Center invites proposals to develop and evaluate a variety of technologies for modeling complex human behavior and decision-making with the precision required to predict what causes an individual or group to decide to act and what drives their decision to implement one course of action versus alternatives. Researchers may select any complex environment to assess and demonstrate their predictive technologies as long as the selected environment has the complexity to support generalization of the technology to other complex environments. Research to examine age-related changes in reading and language comprehension abilities and to develop interventions that prevent or compensate for declines is sought by the National Institutes on Aging and on Child Health and Human Development. The Solicited Grants Competition awards grants in line with its annual topics of interest. This program seeks to add fundamental knowledge to behavioral science sub-disciplines.
Funding can extend three years, but short-term efforts with modest budgets are encouraged.
Both single-investigator and collaborative research efforts are welcome, as are multidisciplinary approaches to a central problem. This website is not available at this time.
