The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $998,028 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports the development of the Data Access Platform for Human Mobility in Epidemiology (DAPHME), a large-scale data platform that collects and processes global positioning satellite (GPS) datasets to improve the understanding, prevention, and mitigation of pandemics. Key project activities include establishing data sharing agreements, reducing data access costs, developing epidemiological research methods and metrics, and building a research community to advance the platform's capabilities. This strategic investment in public health infrastructure is expected to significantly enhance the nation's capacity to model and respond to future disease outbreaks. The project period runs from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026.
