7 programs matching “developmental cognitive neuroscience”
How program alignment is calculated
Each faculty member is scored independently against every searched concept using attributable official-interest, indexed-topic, and NIH-project evidence. Missing concepts remain in that faculty member's denominator. A program score weights its strongest eligible faculty match at 72%, the average of up to three eligible faculty at 18%, and reviewed faculty depth at up to 10%; reviewed program-membership strength is applied before aggregation. Evidence from different people is never merged to imply that one person covers the whole query, and program descriptions do not qualify a match by themselves.
