THE GENZER GROUP WILL USE CONTROLLED DEPOSITION OF SILANE SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS (SAMS) WITH A RICH LIBRARY OF ORGANIC FUNCTIONALITIES TO CREATE WELL-DEFINED GRADIENT SURFACES. THEIR VALIDATED METHODS WILL GENERATE SURFACES PRESENTING PRECISELY DEFINED SURFACE DENSITIES OF FUNCTIONAL GROUPS AND PATTERN GRADIENT SAMS 124,125. BEFORE DECIDING ON WHICH GRADIENT SURFACE/LC COMBINATION TO USE TO TEMPLATE ICVD POLYMERIZATION, THE FMRG TEAM WILL SURVEY A VARIETY OF GRADIENT SURFACES BY VARYING THE CHEMISTRY, ORIENTATION, DENSITY, AND SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE SAMS FOR THEIR ABILITY TO DEFINE THE STRUCTURE OF LC FILMS AND TO AMPLIFY THE OPTICAL "FINGERPRINTS" GENERATED BY THE PARTICLE-CONTAINING LCS.

WE PROPOSE TO EXPAND ON OUR PREVIOUS COVID-19 RESEARCH TO HARNESS SOCIOBEHAVIORAL FEEDBACK AND DATA FOR PANDEMIC FORECASTING (SEE EXAMPLES). WE HAVE FOUR MAIN AIMS:1. COMPILE AN EMOTIONAL DATASET DERIVED FROM REDDIT COMMUNITY COVID-19 DISCUSSIONSAND TO COLLECT LONGITUDINAL SURVEY DATA REGARDING INDIVIDUAL PANDEMIC PRECAUTIONARYBEHAVIORS FROM 15 OF THE LARGEST METROPOLITAN REGIONS IN THE UNITED STATES;2. DEVELOP A SOCIOBEHAVIORAL INFECTIOUS DISEASE MODEL INCORPORATING THE COLLECTED DATA TOESTIMATE THE IMPACT OF FACTORS INDIVIDUALLY AND COMBINATORIALLY THROUGH SIMULATIONSTUDIES;3. VALIDATE THE MODEL THROUGH RETROSPECTIVE FORECASTS FOR COVID-19 (AND INFLUENZA)HEALTHCARE NEEDS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES; AND4. DISSEMINATE OUR RESULTS TO SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS TO IMPROVE PANDEMICPREPAREDNESS.

THE INTER AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO- BAYAMON CAMPUS {IAUPR) WILL CONTRIBUTE TO RESEARCH ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL MODELS WITH HUMAN BEHAVIOR AS THE FOURTH INSTITUTION WITH A DIVERSE CULTURAL-SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE IN COLLABORATION WITH KANSAS UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA-GREENSBOROUGH, AND GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY. WITHIN THE PROJECT INSIGHT RESEARCH AT THE IAUPR WILL FOCUS ON THE STUDY "ISOLATION COMPLIANCE" DURING THE MULTIPLE CONFINEMENT STRATEGIES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIA, AS IT AFFECTS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL MODELS AND THE WORLDWIDE REPORTED INCREASE IN THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROBLEM AS STATED IN PROBLEM 3 OF THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION. WE WILL FOCUS ON INTIMATE PARTNERS, USE ECONOMIC DEPENDENT FUNCTION TO DETERMINE PARTNERS CHOICES SUCH AS ABUSE, FORGIVENESS, HELP-SEEKING OR EXITING THE DV CYCLE. THE MODELING EFFORTS ARE DEPENDENT ON AVAILABLE DATA, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS UNDER-REPORTED OR NOT WELL REPRESENTED, THE RESEARCH WILL BENEFIT FROM MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND SIMULATION THAT INCORPORATE THE NOVEL USE OF GAME-THEORY APPLICATION TO DV AND COMPARTMENTAL STRATEGIES. WE WILL USE DATA FROM SOURCES LIKE SAFEGRAPH, AND DELPHI GROUP COVID-19 TRENDS & IMPACT SURVEY, TO DEFINE ISOLATION COMPLIANCE FUNCTIONS. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DATA WILL COME FROM THE PR STATISTICS INSTITUTE, NATIONAL INTIMATE PARTNER AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE SURVEY, NATIONAL COALITION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND CITY OF CHICAGO DATA PORTAL. THESE FUNCTIONS WILL AFFECT ANALYSIS OF THESE MODELS, INCLUDING THE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS. WE WILL CONDUCT A RIGOROUS MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF THESE MODELS AND USE THESE MODELS TO ADDRESS OUR BROAD RESEARCH QUESTIONS IN BOTH RURAL AND URBAN GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT SETTINGS.

A DIVERSE GROUP OF MATHEMATICIANS, SOCIAL SCIENTISTS, AND BIOLOGISTS HAVE JOINED FORCES TO CREATE THE INSIGHT PROJECT, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO INCORPORATE SOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND ECONOMIC PROCESSES DEEPLY IN MATHEMATICAL MODELING FRAMEWORKS TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF EFFECTS OF LARGE-SCALE DISEASE OUTBREAKS ON HUMAN WELL-BEING AND SOCIAL NETWORKS. WE TAKE AS A CASE STUDY THE 2020-2022 COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AS IT HAS AFFECTED HUMAN SYSTEMS GLOBALLY, AND MANY OF ITS CONSEQUENCES ARE WELL-DOCUMENTED. INSIGHT EVOLVED OUT OF WORK IN THE CONTEXT OF TWO SUCCESSFUL RAPID GRANTS (DMS 2028297, 2031029) AND AN NSF-FUNDED WORKSHOP (DMS 1839608) THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER RESEARCHERS FROM MATHEMATICAL, LIFE, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES TO DEFINE EMERGING RESEARCH CHALLENGES AND PRIORITIES IN THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES.
