Description
This funding opportunity, issued by the CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), aims to advance the modeling of infectious diseases within healthcare settings. The program will support innovative and applied mathematical modeling and computational tool development to:
- Model the spread of pathogens in healthcare environments (e.g., healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), antimicrobial resistant organisms (AROs))
- Predict outbreaks and trends in HAI pathogens
- Assess the effectiveness of intervention strategies
A central goal is to inform and improve evidence-based prevention strategies, guide public health decisions, and enhance preparedness for evolving threats. The program also emphasizes workforce development, including training for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and requires strong collaboration with public health partners.
Funded projects will join the Modeling Infectious Diseases in Healthcare (MInD Healthcare) Network, a multidisciplinary consortium working to enhance the scientific basis for pathogen prevention and healthcare delivery improvements.
