A1: knowledge network development infrastructure with application to covid-19 science and economics

This $4.96 million cooperative agreement from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities supports the development of a knowledge network infrastructure and applications related to COVID-19 science and economics from May 2021 through August 2022. Funded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which aims to enhance STEM competitiveness through capacity building and broadening participation, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will create a knowledge network programming system. A $250,000 subaward to the University of Michigan-Flint supports building this knowledge network programming system to facilitate data and knowledge sharing across diverse stakeholders engaged in COVID-19 research and response. The projects will leverage open infrastructure to connect experts and decision-makers, with applications to pandemic modeling and economic impact analysis.
