Influenza Modeling and Forecasting
Funding to create a network that enhances CDC’s influenza modeling and forecasting for better prevention, control, and communication, especially benefiting underserved populations.
Funder: Centers for Disease Control - NCIRD
Due Dates (Anticipated): May 2026
Funding Amounts: Estimated total funding: $14,750,000; ~7 awards; award ceiling/floor not specified; typical duration not specified.
Summary: Supports a network of researchers to advance CDC’s influenza modeling and forecasting for improved situational awareness, prevention, and control strategies.
Description
This opportunity aims to expand a network of researchers to strengthen the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) use of influenza modeling and forecasting. The program supports research that enhances situational awareness, informs influenza prevention and control efforts, advances scientific understanding of influenza forecasting and modeling, and improves communication of findings with key partners, including state, local, and non-governmental organizations. The ultimate goal is to inform strategies that help mitigate influenza-related morbidity and mortality, with a particular focus on populations at higher risk or with lower access to influenza prevention and control measures.
