Funding Opportunity: National Science Foundation Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models
National Science Foundation (NSF); Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models
Due: Monday, July 14, 2025
Funding Amount: Up to $1 Million
Note: As federal funding agencies are undergoing program review to comply with the presidential administration’s funding priorities, this opportunity may be subject to delay or cancellation.
ABOUT: The purpose of the Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models activity is to support interdisciplinary collaborations that integrate research on behavioral and/or social processes in mathematical epidemiological models. Projects supported under this activity should be collaborative in nature and depend on the coordinated interaction of two or more PIs/co-PIs, with integrated participation from both the mathematical sciences and the social, behavioral, or economic sciences. Additional participants from other disciplines, especially the biological sciences, are also welcome.
Each project should focus on a significant and well-delineated research challenge that integrates behavioral and social processes into mathematical epidemiological models. Examples of research challenges include, but not are limited to: Behavioral realism and sensitivity analysis; Incorporation of behavioral change; Incorporation of multiple environments: climate, seasonal, political, social; Incorporation of population heterogeneity and policy models; Data needs for rich mathematical epidemiological models.
Projects need not focus on human pathogens or human hosts, although such research must still incorporate human behavior and/or social processes. Examples of research on non-human systems include: how changes in behaviors or farming practices affect the transmission of foot-and-mouth disease, how economic factors affect the global spread of pathogens through the pet trade, or how hunting affects the spread of prions in wild game.

- Google Drive Quotas - coming July 1, 2025Dear Faculty and Staff, In response to Google imposing data storage limitations on our campus, Cal Poly Humboldt is implementing updated storage quotas for all faculty, staff, and student accounts. After collaboration with a variety of campus groups and advisory committees, ITS will be implementing the following quotas on July 1, 2025. The most notable aspect of this proposed quota system is that current faculty and staff will not be required to further reduce their Google storage usage.
