The project, led by Northeastern University,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,344,200 to the University of Vermont to develop mathematical epidemiological models that better represent the complexities of human behavior and social processes in disease dynamics. The project will focus on understanding respiratory diseases like COVID-19 and the flu, aiming to improve the ability to predict and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. Key...
This $108,131 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research at Duke University to establish a new efficient simulation method for assessing rare but highly consequential epidemic events. The project aims to identify key risk factors in virus-spreading interactions that can facilitate large outbreaks, using disease models similar to COVID-19 and HIV as case studies. The research will provide improved...
This $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070) supports research investigating the "pandemic lifecycle" through three collaborating institutions in North Carolina. Duke University serves as the primary awardee and will lead efforts to establish working groups examining fundamental questions around how infectious diseases spread locally and regionally. A pilot study aims to develop simulation...
This $201,299 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop novel predictive models of epidemic spread dynamics and validate those models using COVID-19 data.
