The University of Florida received a $149,437 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems on October 1, 2021 to support a pilot study through September 30, 2022. The study will utilize remote sensing and predictive modeling techniques to facilitate addressing social and health issues related to environmental noise levels around schools and hospitals. This award is part of the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070), which supports foundational research and education in computing, communications, and information sciences critical to national priorities. Specifically, the University of Florida will conduct research using advanced computing methods to map and predict noise pollution around select facilities. Outcomes of the pilot have the potential to inform strategies for mitigating noise impacts and improving quality of life.
