- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,344,200 to the University of Vermont to develop mathematical epidemiological models that better represent the complexities of human behavior and social processes in disease dynamics. The project will focus on understanding respiratory diseases like COVID-19 and the flu, aiming to improve the ability to predict and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. Key...
The National Science Foundation awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to develop predictive models and community engagement strategies to prevent future pandemics. Over an 18-month period ending January 2024, the university will utilize computational and experimental methods to analyze animal virus genomes to predict their potential to infect humans, identify drug repurposing opportunities to combat such viruses, and engage local stakeholders to develop pandemic preparedness and response best practices. The project aims to control and prevent future viral pandemics through ethically grounded, community-informed research and the establishment of an interdisciplinary workforce skilled in team science approaches.
