Various Funding Opportunities for COVID-Related Research

Following are several funding opportunities related to COVID-19 research. If you are interested in learning more or intend to submit a proposal, please contact the Research Office.


NSF:

Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention Phase I: Development Grants (PIPP Phase I)


The PIPP Phase I initiative intends to support planning activities encompassing (1) articulation of a grand challenge centered around a critical and broad question in pandemic predictive intelligence; (2) proposals of novel conceptual research and technology developments that aim to advance state-of-the-art forecasting, real-time monitoring, mitigation, and prevention of the spread of pathogens; and (3) multidisciplinary team formation. Successful Phase I proposals must identify an innovative interdisciplinary grand challenge that engages integrated computational, biological, engineering, and social/behavioral approaches to formulate and solve critical problems relating to predictive intelligence for pandemic prevention. PIs of Phase I Development Grants are strongly encouraged to develop research and technical approaches that start to address critical aspects of the identified grand challenge.

Estimated post date: 3/19/2022


Russell Sage Foundation:

Research Grants Program

The severe consequences of the Covid19-pandemic, including its economic disruptions, and the recent mass protests to combat systemic racial inequality in policing and other institutions have reaffirmed the importance of social science research examining economic, political, racial, ethnic, generational, and social inequalities relevant to public policy and social change. RSF encourages proposals that analyze any of these issues on topics of interest under the Decision Making and Human Behavior in Context, Behavioral Economics, and Future of Work programs.
