The project aims to improve our ability to control existing respiratory diseases and enhance preparedness for future pandemics. Key deliverables include: Developing a...

This Cooperative Agreement award, titled "MODELING HIV, VIRAL HEPATITIS, STI, AND TB TO IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH - CAMP 3.0: THE COALITION FOR APPLIED MODELING FOR PREVENTION," is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the HIV Prevention Activities Health Department Based grant program (CFDA 93.940). The total award amount is $2,745,600.00 with a performance period from Sep 30, 2024 to Sep 29, 2029. The primary awardee, Emory University, will provide...

This $299,862 National Science Foundation project grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will support the development of a decision support system to strengthen public health response to infectious disease outbreaks in the US and Australia. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia will collaborate to develop graph representation learning methods for fair teaming...

The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $200,151 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, Los Angeles for the period of September 1, 2022 through February 29, 2024. The award will support development of a prototype pandemic early warning system powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and open-source technologies. The system will monitor biological,...

This $360,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences), aims to improve public health policy making for mitigating the spread of respiratory diseases, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. The key products and services to be delivered include developing and studying game theoretical mathematical models, simulation tools, and numerical approaches that can be used by policymakers to...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $1,062,500 Cooperative Agreement to the University of California, Davis to establish the Center for Insights into the Pre-Emergence Phase of Pandemics (CI3P). This center will pioneer transdisciplinary research and develop innovative sensor technologies to detect signals of pathogens in wildlife, characterize ecological and behavioral events that precede pandemics, and forecast pandemic risk. The project...

This $170,566 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to develop an innovative mathematical modeling framework for analyzing the coupled dynamics of public health policies, public opinions, and epidemic outcomes. The project will establish an integrated system of mean-field game equations to capture the complex feedback loops between public health policies (e.g., vaccination,...

This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075), supports research that analyzes mathematical models incorporating the interaction between human behavior and the transmission of epidemic diseases. The $100,000 award to Vanderbilt University aims to inform public health policy decisions during major disease outbreaks. The project will develop three classes of models: agent-based models tracking...

This $223,001 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop novel predictive models of epidemic spread dynamics and validate those models against COVID-19 data. The award is made under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support fundamental engineering research. Specifically, researchers at the University of Cincinnati will work collaboratively to: develop new predictive dynamic models based on partial differential equations; study the interaction of...
