Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM)
Funding Agency:
- National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation seeks to stimulate fundamental interdisciplinary, potentially transformative research concerning the incorporation of human social, behavioral, and economic processes into mathematical epidemiological models. As part of this effort, this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) invites Research Advanced by Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (RAISE) proposals that incorporate research and scientific insights about human behavior, economics, and social dynamics to improve mathematical epidemiological models. NSF is supporting this effort through its Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), Divisions of Social and Economic Sciences (SES) and Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE), and the Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) in Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO).
To receive funding as a RAISE-appropriate project, all three criteria must be met. Proposals responsive to this DCL, therefore, must include a section stating how each of these three criteria is met. RAISE proposals may request up to $1,000,000 in total costs (including indirect costs) over up to five years.
