This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $155,647.00 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to develop statistical methods for understanding and quantifying network interference, which describes how an individual's behavior or status is influenced by others through network interactions.

The key goals of the project are to: (1) design a data-driven framework for estimating heterogeneous spillover effects using graph neural networks; (2) develop an intervention effect estimation method that integrates active learning to address sample size limitations; and (3) construct a directed graphical model to identify latent propagation patterns in heterogeneous network cascades. The project aims to advance causal inference and graph-based machine learning, producing tools with broad applicability across social sciences, public health, economics, and business. The award period is from July 15, 2025 to June 30, 2028, and the project will provide research opportunities for graduate students.
