This $360,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) aims to incorporate game theory modeling and simulation tools to improve policymaking for mitigating the spread of respiratory diseases, such as COVID-19. The University of Illinois will develop and study mathematical models, including mean field games and graphon games, to analyze how individual decision-making and sociodemographic factors influence responses to public health policies. The project will also involve interdisciplinary training for graduate students. The research outputs, including the mathematical models and simulation tools, will be made publicly available to support policymakers in adapting these approaches to their specific needs. This award is co-funded by the NSF and the CDC's Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses Division.
