Science of Learning Institute - Research Proposals

The goal of the SLI’s grant program is to generate innovative scientific discoveries about lifelong learning through interdisciplinary collaborations that span within and across the basic and applied sciences at Johns Hopkins University. We seek to create an integrated understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of learning, how learning varies as a function of basic learner characteristics (e.g. under genetic change, over the life span, across individual differences), how these characteristics interact with different environments to produce variation in learning outcomes, and how interactions with intelligent artificial learning systems can enhance and optimize human learning.
