Northeastern University was awarded $750,000 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to design an improved information infrastructure for decision-making in pharmaceutical supply chains. The university will develop new models of human behavior and decision-making among supply chain stakeholders, advance analytical methods to extract actionable data on behaviors, introduce network-based metrics to identify risks and vulnerabilities, and consider models to balance privacy, security and transparency through prototype systems. The convergent research approach aims to create a reusable model applicable to other industry decision-making and analyses of infrastructure changes. The grant period runs from September 2022 to August 2025 and supports the National Science Foundation's mission to promote basic research and education in the social and behavioral sciences.
