Case Western Reserve University was awarded a $2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop a comprehensive, integrated, and intelligent system for early and accurate pandemic prediction, prevention, and preparation. The university will lead a multi-disciplinary research effort involving multiple institutions from July 2022 to December 2023. Researchers will incorporate granular individual data and population-level data to design digital infrastructure for nationwide pandemic prediction and prevention that ensures privacy and inclusiveness. They will focus on data storage architecture, collection infrastructure, and privacy-enabling technologies to balance data utility and privacy. In addition, the team will develop integrated projects in early detection using wearables, pathogen transmission modeling, multi-level surveillance, and technological preparation based on drug repositioning. A subaward of $50,000 was also provided to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation to support portions of this work.
