The National Science Foundation awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop a new computational framework for integrating agent-based models (ABMs) of complex biological phenomena with real-world data.

The project aims to create a robust and scalable method for parameterizing, calibrating, and validating ABMs by leveraging explicitly formulated surrogate models. This approach is designed to overcome the inherent stochasticity and computational expense of ABMs, enabling their integration with noisy, sparse, and multifaceted experimental data. The successful completion of this 3-year project will provide a scalable mathematical tool for operationalizing computationally complex ABMs to advance understanding of interconnected biological systems.

The project will be led by the University of Michigan, with sub-awards to the University of Minnesota and Bard College. The University of Minnesota will contribute expertise in continuous dynamical systems modeling, calibration, and validation, while Bard College will provide input on multiscale ABM development, simulation, and analysis, particularly related to tumor-immune interactions.
