The University of California, San Diego was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems to develop a collective intelligence cyberinfrastructure prototype for pandemic prediction, prevention and response under the Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP) Phase I program. The award period is from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024.
The grant will support testing a new digital platform to merge currently separate tools for infectious disease surveillance and public health intervention. Key activities include creating a prototype that integrates surveillance methods, rapid testing, predictive analytics, and policy recommendations. The platform aims to engage researchers, medical professionals, policymakers, and the general public to both contribute and access pandemic intelligence data. Findings from developing and testing the prototype through simulations and stakeholder engagement are expected to inform future pandemic prediction and response efforts.
