This Project Grant award of $333,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of PANAX, a new computational system to improve how researchers and public health officials prepare for and respond to evolving epidemics. The project aims to leverage existing data and models in more efficient and adaptable ways, by identifying the key underlying patterns and relationships that drive the spread of diseases. Led by Arizona State University, the PANAX framework will focus on scalable and effective spatio-temporal modeling, causal discovery, and data management techniques to enhance epidemic prediction, preparedness, and intervention. The project will deliver an open-source software system to support researchers, public health officials, and policymakers in planning and managing epidemics, with the goal of accelerating research, catalyzing innovative tool development, and training the next generation of computer scientists to tackle cross-disciplinary challenges in causal learning, data integration, and computational epidemiology.
