The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York received a $283,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences on July 1, 2021 to complete work by June 30, 2024. The grant supports modeling of financial catastrophe and COVID-19 super spreader events under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This program aims to advance mathematical and physical sciences knowledge and understanding of major national challenges. Columbia University will utilize the funding to develop models of how financial crises and large contagion events spread and impact societies to help inform policy responses to such events. Key work will include quantitative analysis of propagation pathways and their effects. Outcomes will further the program's goals of strengthening the national scientific enterprise through increased understanding of problems facing the nation.
