NIH awarded Georgetown University $426,660 to develop respiratory disease models using opportunistic data to improve epidemic surveillance and public health policy.
Description
The project aims to leverage mathematical modeling and large datasets to improve epidemic monitoring and management, especially related to COVID-19 and future emerging pathogens. The work will contribute to understanding respiratory virus epidemiology, seasonality, spatial epidemiology, and public health policy. The project involves collaboration with Georgetown University and is funded by the NIH.
