This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,313 to Lawrence Technological University to enhance dynamic population-level epidemiological models by incorporating wastewater surveillance data. The project aims to improve the estimation of true disease prevalence, enhance forecasting of future COVID-19 cases, and monitor the emergence and evolution of viral variants. Key activities include developing mechanistic mathematical frameworks that integrate wastewater viral RNA data and stool sample data into traditional SIR-type epidemiological models. The project also seeks to extend the modeling framework to account for virus variants by incorporating variant-specific parameters. User-friendly computational packages will be developed to facilitate the implementation of these enhanced models and their interface with public health databases. The award period is from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025.
