We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Computer-Mediated Collective Induction @ University of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign
Collective induction is the cooperative search for descriptive, predictive, and explanatory generalizations, rules, and principles. Research with cooperative 4-person groups using face-to-face communication indicates that the groups are remarkably able to recognize correct hypotheses if proposed by a group member, but rarely form correct emergent group hypotheses unless proposed by a group member. Increasing information increases the number of correct hypotheses, but also increases the number of incorrect group hypotheses. The research will compare face-to-face versus computer-mediated communication under three conditions that are predicted to raise computer-mediated collective induction to or beyond the levels reached in face-to- face communication. The research should help to realize the potential of computer-mediated communication by allowing effective collective induction by any group of dispersed members.

Hypothesis Testing in Collective and Individual Induction @ University of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign
It is widely held that scientific method involves attempts to disconfirm prevailing hypotheses -- and experiments conducted in fields like physics are usually designed to do exactly this. On the other hand, a large body of psychological literature suggests that people instead seek evidence confirming hypotheses. In this proposal, the PI suggests that this difference may have to do with the state of knowledge associated with a given hypothesis - when the state of knowledge is advanced, we seek disconfirmation of a hypothesis but when the state of knowledge is primitive, seeking confirmation may be more effective because it is more likely to result in further evidence from which to induce generalizations, rules and principles. This conjecture will be tested in a series of experiments, some involving individuals and some involving small groups to allow for testing of the additional hypothesis that groups will perform better in induction tasks than individuals.
