The project aims to improve our ability to control existing respiratory diseases and enhance preparedness for future pandemics. Key deliverables include: Developing a...
The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded The George Washington University a $1,825,505 project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to characterize the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and host response from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing...
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...
This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology supports research investigating the uptake, persistence, and impact of behavioral interventions on respiratory viruses. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the Pennsylvania State University will model the dynamics of COVID-19 and influenza transmission considering behavioral changes mandated by public health interventions as well as voluntary individual behaviors....
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 federal Project Grant award of $360,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences and the CDC Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses Division aims to improve policymaking processes for mitigating the transmission of respiratory pathogens, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. The principal investigators will develop and study game theoretical mathematical models, simulation tools, and numerical approaches that can be adapted to specific public...
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 $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...
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...
