Conduct a nationally...
- 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...
- Trustees of Boston University was awarded a three-year, $352,394 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program to develop computationally efficient methods for controlling epidemics on networks. Through this funding, Boston University researchers will design optimal, spatially heterogeneous intervention strategies to mitigate epidemics, such as COVID-19, while minimizing societal hardship. The researchers will develop models to determine the...

The grant funds a research project titled "RAPID: The Rise and Propagation of Anti-Vax and Anti-Access Social Media Campaigns Targeted at Disadvantaged and Minority Populations During the COVID19 Pandemic." The University of Colorado Boulder will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,129 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the Trustees of Boston College. The grant supports a research project entitled "Collaborative Research: Science and Information Integrity: Strategies for Rebuilding Trust in Science". The project aims to advance theory and knowledge about enhancing the public value of scientific findings and scientific communities, and to offer...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program provides $599,999 to Duke University for a project titled "Challenges in Stochastic Modeling and Computation for Sequential Vaccine Design." The project aims to address technical challenges in computational modeling of the stochastic immune system in order to improve methods for estimating the probability of inducing broadly protective...
- This $199,295 National Science Foundation project grant funded the development of a comparative online simulation tool for COVID-19 vaccine allocation strategies. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center will create a mathematical model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission incorporating multiple vaccines, viral variants, and demographic factors. This model will then be used to develop a free, open-source, online comparative tool allowing up...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $420,625 Project Grant (CFDA 47.041, Engineering program) to the University of Massachusetts Boston, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028. This research project will develop an adaptive diagnostic platform using multiplexed paper-based immunoassays capable of detecting and classifying emerging flaviviruses. The primary deliverable is a...
- This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology supports research investigating the uptake, persistence, and impact of behavioral interventions on respiratory viruses. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the Pennsylvania State University will model the dynamics of COVID-19 and influenza transmission considering behavioral changes mandated by public health interventions as well as voluntary individual behaviors....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) grant award of $121,154 to Northeastern University provides funding for a collaborative research project titled "Science and Information Integrity: Strategies for Rebuilding Trust in Science." The project aims to investigate the causes and mechanisms underlying the decline in public trust in science, with a focus on addressing both fact-level misinformation and broader trust-level threats...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $448,823 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the Trustees of Boston University. This two-year grant, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025, aims to assess the effectiveness of various health communication tactics employed by federal, state, and local agencies to encourage vaccine uptake. The project will build a database of vaccine messaging from public health agencies, evaluate the efficacy of these communication efforts through randomized controlled trials, and deploy the most promising interventions through a large-scale online vaccine promotion campaign. The study will measure the impact on both self-reported and validated vaccine uptake data. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York will serve as a sub-grantee, contributing expertise in public health communication, misinformation, and big data analysis to support the database development and analysis components of the project.
