This Project Grant award for $174,544, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, supports the development of a novel, integrated geospatial framework that applies advanced machine learning techniques to map disease-transmission risk for mosquito-borne infectious diseases in Southern Africa.

The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:

  • High-resolution satellite imagery processed with computer vision methods and enriched with data on buildings, roads, land cover, points of interest, and population to generate maps of human activity zones
  • Computational models that simulate vector-human contact patterns by combining the human activity maps with weather variables and mosquito surveillance data
  • Annual probability maps, open-source software tools, and comprehensive documentation to equip researchers worldwide with resources for detailed mapping of vector-borne disease risk
  • Training workshops and publicly released risk maps to strengthen disease-control capacity in partner countries and provide a template for confronting other mosquito-borne threats such as dengue and Zika.

This award aims to guide interventions like bed-net distribution, indoor insecticide spraying, and community outreach to the highest-risk micro-regions, thereby promoting national and global welfare.
