Subawards of $250,000 each will be provided to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $214,019 to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to measure the consistency of public health messaging during the COVID-19 pandemic. The key objectives are to: Analyze COVID-19 tweets from federal and state public health agencies to assess the relationship between message consistency and the prevalence of discordant information on social media. Conduct a nationally...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $1,999,074 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) for the project "PIPP PHASE I: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Messaging and Modeling during Pandemics." The goal of the project is to develop models and tools to help public health officials and policymakers more effectively communicate and respond during future pandemics. Specifically, the university...
- This $1,999,688 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports the development of predictive intelligence for pandemic prevention through transdisciplinary innovation. Funded by NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070), the two-year award to the University of California, Davis enables advancement of predictive capabilities for forecasting pandemic risk through three key research areas. First, the team will characterize environmental conditions and human...
- This $195,213 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund the University of Southern California's investigation of misinformation beliefs expressed and spread online from September 2021 through August 2022. A sub-award of $TBD will support related research efforts at the University of California, Los Angeles. The goal of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program is to support basic research that contributes to...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded North Carolina State University a $100,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant supports the RAPID: COLLECTION AND ARCHIVING OF VITAL DATA ON COVID-19 VACCINE DISTRIBUTION project from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022. The project will collect and archive vital data on COVID-19 vaccine distribution to support the NSF Directorate for Engineering's goal of...
- 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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,144,224 will fund the development of a scalable pipeline for identifying and addressing information deficits about vaccines through 2026. Under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, Duke University will generate contextualized question-answer pairs to surface ongoing discussions and highlight areas requiring attention. Emory University will collaborate to develop and evaluate contextualized interventions against vaccine misinformation by interfacing with experts, annotating content, and providing feedback on taxonomies. The award reflects NSF's mission to support merit-reviewed, investigator-initiated research and education in computing and information sciences through this effort to assist public health professionals.
