The research will document the dynamics of disease advocacy, contestation, and cross-country collaboration, and develop an analytical framework to identify factors shaping the...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,144,224 will fund the development of a scalable pipeline for identifying and addressing information deficits about vaccines through 2026. Under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, Duke University will generate contextualized question-answer pairs to surface ongoing discussions and highlight areas requiring attention. Emory University will collaborate to develop and evaluate contextualized interventions against vaccine...
- This Project Grant award of $430,252 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative multi-year research project examining the multi-sectoral determinants of health in low-income communities globally. The research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the formulation, interpretation, translation, and implementation of health policies across local, national, and transnational scales. The project...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Trustees of Boston University. The grant will fund a 2-year research project to improve the estimation of epidemic quantities and assessment of intervention impacts for acute infectious diseases by incorporating realistic behavioral feedback into mechanistic models. The project involves recruiting individuals with acute respiratory infections...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $234,082 to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York, NY. The funding will support the IMMUNOCAPITAL project to develop open educational resources on immunity and pandemics. Specifically, the grantee will train graduate students and work with undergraduates to frame global health case studies...
- This $199,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research to develop a data-driven model of imperfect immunity against COVID-19. The University of Southern California will receive funding to build upon data on COVID-19 reinfections and vaccine breakthroughs to better understand how imperfect protection affects SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and the long-term risks of resurgence. The project directly supports the NSF's Biological...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program provides $198,092 to fund a survey-based research project examining risk perceptions and behavioral intentions related to the 2022 monkeypox outbreak. The award was made to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on November 1, 2022, with a completion date of October 31, 2023. Specifically, the funding will support a large-scale survey of 1,000 individuals to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award in the amount of $200,000 supports research to investigate how different stakeholders, from government officials to the general public, use and perceive information about the evolving H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks in U.S. dairy cattle. The project aims to enhance national health interests by providing insights to guide better communication and decision-making for safeguarding...
- This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology supports research investigating the uptake, persistence, and impact of behavioral interventions on respiratory viruses. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the Pennsylvania State University will model the dynamics of COVID-19 and influenza transmission considering behavioral changes mandated by public health interventions as well as voluntary individual behaviors....
NSF-SSRC: SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC INFLUENCES ON VACCINE DECISION-MAKING -HEALTHCARE DECISIONS, INCLUDING DECISIONS TO VACCINATE, ARE AN AMALGAMATION OF COMPLEX CULTURAL, SOCIAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS, INCLUDING PERCEPTIONS OF RISK, TRUST IN HEALTHCARE, LOCALLY RELEVANT NORMS OF BEHAVIOR, AND SOCIAL LEARNING. UNDERSTANDING BOTH THE DRIVERS OF VACCINE DECISION MAKING IS CRUCIAL TO ALLEVIATING THE BURDEN OF DISEASE AND INCREASING VACCINE UPTAKE. IN PARTICULAR, MORE WORK IS NEEDED FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, WHICH TEND TO HAVE DISPROPORTIONATE VULNERABILITIES AND DISEASE BURDEN. IN ADDITION TO POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC POLICY, THIS STUDY FACILITATES TRAINING OF A DIVERSE GROUP OF GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, INCLUDING GROUPS TYPICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN STEM RESEARCH. THIS STUDY TAKES A MULTI-MODAL APPROACH TO STUDYING HEALTH CARE DECISION-MAKING, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE ACCEPTANCE AND UPTAKE OF VACCINES. THE TEAM EXAMINES: (1) HOW LOCAL MODELS OF ILLNESS SHAPE VACCINATION PRACTICE, (2) HOW INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL FACTORS, INCLUDING MEDICAL MISTRUST, SHAPE PERCEPTIONS AND USE OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, (3) HOW SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS SHAPE VACCINE BELIEFS, AND (4) HOW SOCIAL LEARNING INFLUENCES INDIVIDUAL VACCINATION DECISIONS. TO DO THIS THE TEAM USES A MIX OF INTERVIEWS, SURVEYS AND FOCUS GROUPS, ALONG WITH INNOVATIVE VIGNETTE STUDIES DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS STUDY. THIS MULTI-LAYERED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING VACCINATION IS RARE IN HEALTH SCIENCES, AND SHOULD HIGHLIGHT THE VALUE OF AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF VACCINATION. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
