This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $440,756 to the University of Arizona from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2025. The grant supports research examining the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as business closures and capacity limits, on SARS-CoV-2 transmission patterns. The researchers will analyze cell phone and census data from 12 urban areas to determine if NPIs affected...

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...

This $2 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations supports the development of predictive modeling tools to aid pandemic prevention and response efforts. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, the 18-month award to Boston Children's Hospital will plan a future center-scale effort to address gaps in understanding and modeling pandemic potential, impact of interventions, and factors...

Intelligent Medicine Inc. received a $275,842 National Science Foundation Project Grant to develop a cloud-based simulation platform for modeling airborne infectious disease spread. Funded through NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084), the project advances a hybrid computational approach utilizing multi-scale fluid analysis to enable faster-than-real-time simulation of viral particle dispersion and surface contamination in indoor environments. This will allow...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $195,381 Project Grant to Washington State University under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant aims to fund the RAPID project "Curtailing Nosocomial Amplification of COVID-19," which seeks to develop epidemiological models to better understand and mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 in healthcare settings. As part of the grant, Research Triangle Institute will...

This $201,299 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop novel predictive models of epidemic spread dynamics and validate those models using COVID-19 data. The funding will be used to conduct fundamental research advancing the scientific understanding of how uncertainties in human behavior and pathogen characteristics influence spatial and temporal stochastic epidemic dynamics. Specific aims of the research include developing new predictive dynamic models based on...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Trustees of Boston University. The grant will fund a 2-year research project to improve the estimation of epidemic quantities and assessment of intervention impacts for acute infectious diseases by incorporating realistic behavioral feedback into mechanistic models. The project involves recruiting individuals with acute respiratory infections...

This $1 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Emerging Frontiers and Multidisciplinary Activities supports research at Oregon State University under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The two-year award will fund the establishment of a Pandemic Predictive Intelligence and Policy Center to develop feedback loops between predictive modeling and adaptive response strategies that can attenuate pandemic transmission in urban environments. Key deliverables...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support modeling and control of COVID-19 transmission in indoor environments. Funded under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award will allow MIT researchers to develop models and analysis to better understand how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, spreads in confined indoor spaces. By gaining insights into transmission dynamics in...
