This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $200,000.00, awarded on November 15, 2022 with a completion date of October 31, 2026, will fund research at Columbia University to develop behavior-driven mathematical models and forecasting systems for respiratory disease transmission in urban settings. Funded jointly by NSF's Division of Mathematical Sciences and Division of Social and Economic Sciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this research aims to incorporate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Virginia to develop data-driven, multimodal methods for behavior-based epidemiological modeling. The key objectives are to: Improve techniques for deriving meaningful insights from imperfect, real-world sensor data like mobile phones and search engine logs to capture complex human behaviors in real-time. Couple agent-based disease models...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Trustees of Boston University. The grant will fund a 2-year research project to improve the estimation of epidemic quantities and assessment of intervention impacts for acute infectious diseases by incorporating realistic behavioral feedback into mechanistic models. The project involves recruiting individuals with acute respiratory infections...
This $968,765 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will develop a flexible modeling framework to simulate the impact of various testing-based infection control strategies for respiratory pathogens like SARS-CoV-2. The project aims to improve our ability to control existing respiratory diseases and enhance preparedness for future pandemics. Key deliverables include: Developing a...
This $366,181 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and data collection activities at Penn State University from July 2022 to June 2024 under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grantee will collect extensive data on U.S. state policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, analyze the adoption and diffusion of pandemic policies, and track online discussions by state officials. This includes gathering information on hundreds of...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $440,756 to the University of Arizona from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2025. The grant supports research examining the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as business closures and capacity limits, on SARS-CoV-2 transmission patterns. The researchers will analyze cell phone and census data from 12 urban areas to determine if NPIs affected...
This $199,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research to develop a data-driven model of imperfect immunity against COVID-19. The University of Southern California will receive funding to build upon data on COVID-19 reinfections and vaccine breakthroughs to better understand how imperfect protection affects SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and the long-term risks of resurgence. The project directly supports the NSF's Biological...
This $201,299 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop novel predictive models of epidemic spread dynamics and validate those models using COVID-19 data. The funding will be used to conduct fundamental research advancing the scientific understanding of how uncertainties in human behavior and pathogen characteristics influence spatial and temporal stochastic epidemic dynamics. Specific aims of the research include developing new predictive dynamic models based on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, provides $700,000 over 3 years to Northeastern University to develop mathematical models and computational algorithms that incorporate group-level behavioral responses into epidemic models. The research aims to better understand how social interactions, risk-mitigating norms, and the formation of pandemic "social bubbles" influence the trajectories of...
The Pennsylvania State University received a $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on March 1, 2021 to support the project "RAPID: INFORMED AND ECOLOGICAL DECISION MAKING OF COVID-19 VACCINATION." The funding supports research under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to contribute to scientific strength and welfare through promotion of basic research and education in social, behavioral and economic sciences....
