This $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070) supports research investigating the "pandemic lifecycle" through three collaborating institutions in North Carolina. Duke University serves as the primary awardee and will lead efforts to establish working groups examining fundamental questions around how infectious diseases spread locally and regionally. A pilot study aims to develop simulation models and validate statistical methods for characterizing transmission in relation to incomplete sampling data during early outbreak stages. Subawards of $50,000 each to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University will support their participation in relevant working groups and assistance with developing a subsequent Phase II grant proposal. All recipients will collaborate to advance predictive modeling and knowledge around pandemic forecasting and control.
