This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the role of human behavior in the dynamics of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and Zika. The $100,000 grant, awarded to North Carolina State University (NC State), will support a multidisciplinary research project to understand how individual decision-making around mosquito prevention behaviors impacts disease transmission. The project will combine empirical social science research in the city of Ibagué, Colombia with mathematical modeling to predict the effectiveness of public health interventions targeting Aedes mosquito populations. The ultimate goal is to develop minimally complex models that can better account for the effects of behavioral factors on epidemiological dynamics, enabling more effective implementation of disease control strategies.
