This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Project Grant award of $197,535 to Northern Illinois University aims to understand how stress spreads among people evacuating a space during an emergency situation. The three-year project will involve experimental research using controlled environments to measure individuals' physiological stress, emotions, and movement behaviors in small and large groups. The experimental data will then inform the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science Project Grant, titled "Coping with Compounding Risk and Uncertainty: A Longitudinal Study of Cascading Collective Stress in a Probability-Based-US Sample," is being awarded to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) for $1,018,693.00. The project commenced on June 15, 2023 and will run until May 31, 2026. The primary objectives of this study are to: (1) examine how exposure to compounding...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to incorporate group-level behavioral responses into epidemic models. The award of $700,000 will support research to develop mathematical models and computational algorithms that capture how group behaviors, such as the formation of social bubbles and changes in risk-mitigating norms, can impact pandemic trajectories. The project, led by Northeastern University,...
This $499,988 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to understand population mobility patterns and experiences due to low-attention flooding events. The 3-year study, starting September 1, 2024, aims to fill the knowledge gap around how repeated, low-attention flood disasters that receive limited media coverage contribute to people's decisions to evacuate, return, or permanently relocate. The research team will...
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 $400,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports a 3-year research project that examines the impacts of natural disasters on community resilience and spatial disparities. The project has three key components: 1) analyzing disruptions to resident mobility patterns using mobile phone data, 2) investigating spatial variation in requests for government assistance, and 3)...
