The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $199,895 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to project possible scenarios of COVID-19 in the United States from May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2022. As part of this award, Johns Hopkins will use the funding to conduct research and develop models projecting the spread of COVID-19 domestically, delivering insights to help strengthen the nation's...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will provide $200,000 to The Johns Hopkins University to develop real-time hospitalization forecasting models for the United States. The models will leverage novel data sources like wastewater and genomic surveillance, alongside traditional epidemiological, mobility, demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral data, to accurately assess...
The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $455,481 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will enable ethical analysis, public engagement, and public justification in state-level pandemic responses in the United States from September 2021 through August 2023. As part of its mission to promote basic research in the social, behavioral and economic sciences,...
This $175,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will develop new computational models and forecasting approaches to predict the incidence and severity of respiratory illnesses like COVID-19, influenza, and RSV for the 2024-2025 season. The project aims to combine computational modeling with human judgment to improve the accuracy and responsiveness of public health forecasting on a national scale. It will deliver weekly...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering will fund research collaboration between the United States and international partners on modeling human mobility patterns and contagion dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Awarded on August 1, 2021 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, the two-year grant aims to advance scientific discovery and international partnerships through...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Virginia to develop data-driven, multimodal methods for behavior-based epidemiological modeling. The key objectives are to: Improve techniques for deriving meaningful insights from imperfect, real-world sensor data like mobile phones and search engine logs to capture complex human behaviors in real-time. Couple agent-based disease models...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $200,000.00, awarded on November 15, 2022 with a completion date of October 31, 2026, will fund research at Columbia University to develop behavior-driven mathematical models and forecasting systems for respiratory disease transmission in urban settings. Funded jointly by NSF's Division of Mathematical Sciences and Division of Social and Economic Sciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this research aims to incorporate...
This $199,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research to develop a data-driven model of imperfect immunity against COVID-19. The University of Southern California will receive funding to build upon data on COVID-19 reinfections and vaccine breakthroughs to better understand how imperfect protection affects SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and the long-term risks of resurgence. The project directly supports the NSF's Biological...
The National Science Foundation awarded Duke University a $194,721 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022. The grant funds research titled "RAPID: Planning for the Present and Future Management of COVID-19," which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the nation, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $491,408 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University for research titled "CAREER: STATISTICAL APPROACHES AND COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS FOR ANALYZING SPATIALLY-RESOLVED SINGLE-CELL TRANSCRIPTOMICS DATA." The grant was awarded on July 15, 2021 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen understanding of major problems facing the nation.
