Cooperative Agreement AIDOAAF1600115

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, CFDA program 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences), supports research investigating how the transition from subsistence farming to cash crops impacts infectious disease transmission patterns in rural communities. The $500,000 award to Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The key products and services delivered under this...

This Cooperative Agreement award of $821,639.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025) supports research and analysis on the risk of African Swine Fever (ASF) spreading to the United States from the Dominican Republic and other areas of Latin America and the Caribbean. The key objectives are to: a) critically review the current understanding of ASF risk...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded Emory University a $711,555 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop and validate a highly interpretable and predictive modeling framework by deeply integrating graph neural networks with compartmental models. This framework will be used to precisely characterize and accurately predict the complex spatiotemporal transmission dynamics of vaccine-preventable...

This National Science Foundation project grant of $200,000 awarded to Georgetown University on July 15, 2022 will fund research investigating the relationship between population density and infectious disease dynamics in animal populations. The research will analyze dozens of wildlife disease datasets using meta-analyses to examine whether individuals in high-density areas have higher pathogen loads, whether specific interactions that spread disease become more likely with higher host densities,...

This $148,582 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the development of computational models and algorithms to analyze and forecast epidemiological trends during and after military conflicts. The project, titled "EAGER: IMPRESS-U: Modeling and Forecasting of Infection Spread in War and Post War Settings Using Epidemiological, Behavioral and Genomic Surveillance Data", is a collaborative effort...

This Project Grant award of $699,339.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to characterize the transmission dynamics of dengue and Zika viruses at multiple geographic scales in northwestern coastal Ecuador. The research, led by the Regents of the University of Michigan, aims to understand how environmental, social, and biological factors influence virus transmission across diverse...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a research project titled "OPUS: Synthesizing Theory and Data in the Ecology of Zoonotic Diseases: A Multi-System Perspective". The $298,354 award from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026 will enable the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to create a comprehensive database and online portal integrating data from various NSF-funded studies on emerging...

This $968,765 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will develop a flexible modeling framework to simulate the impact of various testing-based infection control strategies for respiratory pathogens like SARS-CoV-2. The project aims to improve our ability to control existing respiratory diseases and enhance preparedness for future pandemics. Key deliverables include: Developing a...

This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering will fund research collaboration between the United States and international partners on modeling human mobility patterns and contagion dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Awarded on August 1, 2021 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, the two-year grant aims to advance scientific discovery and international partnerships through...

This $169,035 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to model the impact of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions on reducing transmission of typhoidal Salmonella in the Indo-Pacific region. The research aims to: 1) estimate "seroincidence" as a surrogate for typhoid fever incidence using novel serosurveillance techniques, 2)...
