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 (SARS-CoV-2) and acute gastroenteritis (rotavirus) in the U.S., as well as their household contacts, to measure daily changes in their social contact patterns over a 2-week period. This behavioral data will be used to develop more realistic transmission dynamic models that capture how infected individuals and their close contacts modify behaviors during the course of infection. The project involves collaboration with researchers from Emory University and Kaiser Permanente Northwest, who will assist with study design, data collection, analysis, and model development.
