The research team will use...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $167,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ACED: TRACK 1: PANAX: ACCELERATING EPIDEMIC SCIENCE THROUGH CAUSALLY-INFORMED DOMAIN GENERALIZATION AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER", aims to develop PANAX, a new computational system to improve epidemic preparedness and response. The project...
- 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...
- This $1,000,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the development of a Center for Pandemic Decision Science at the University of Texas at Austin from September 1, 2022 to February 29, 2024. The Center aims to advance the integration of complex systems science into pandemic decision-making through a series of multidisciplinary workshops, pilot studies, and educational/community outreach activities. Key goals include identifying...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, CFDA program 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences), supports research investigating how the transition from subsistence farming to cash crops impacts infectious disease transmission patterns in rural communities. The $500,000 award to Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The key products and services delivered under this...
- This $391,336 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on linking host life history, movement ecology, and climate to predict disease outbreaks in tropical amphibian communities. The Division of Environmental Biology award supports a collaborative research effort between May 2022 and November 2023. Key products include field surveys of infection patterns in diverse amphibian populations across three tropical regions, an experimental manipulation of rainfall variability to test...
- This $149,949 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to develop new mathematical models and statistical methods to detect changes in the rate of zoonotic infectious disease spillover from wildlife to humans and livestock. The research will focus on Rift Valley fever virus, a pathogen with high risk of global expansion that could have devastating consequences for human health and agriculture. The work will train students in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "OPUS: Synthesizing Theory and Data in the Ecology of Zoonotic Diseases: A Multi-System Perspective". The $298,354 award from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026 will enable the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to create a comprehensive database and online portal integrating data from various NSF-funded studies on emerging infectious diseases such as West Nile virus, avian influenza, and MERS-coronavirus. By leveraging a data-driven approach combining ecology, data science, and mathematical modeling, the project aims to generate actionable knowledge for public health strategies and policy-making, enhance global pandemic preparedness, and improve understanding of disease emergence and spread. The findings will be made accessible through user-friendly web dashboards for scientists, policymakers, and the public.
