This National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) grant invites applications for Centers of Excellence in Modeling Infectious Diseases. These centers will be a vital component of the Modeling of Infectious Disease Agents Study (MIDAS) network. The overall objective of MIDAS is to coordinate multidisciplinary scientists engaged in computational and mathematical research. This initiative aims to provide the U.S. scientific and public health communities with enhanced resources, knowledge, and tools to effectively prepare for, identify, and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including those caused by naturally occurring or intentionally released pathogens relevant to biodefense. The selected Centers will address key thematic areas including infectious disease research, computational/statistical/mathematical research, education/outreach, and public health policy.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for Centers of Excellence in Modeling of Infectious Diseases. This FOA is a reissuance of a prior FOA (RFA-GM-09-003). The Centers will comprise a component of the Modeling of Infectious Disease Agents Study (MIDAS) network, consisting of Centers of Excellence, a centralized Information Technology Resource (announced separately), and research projects (announced separately). The overall objective of MIDAS is the coordination of a cadre of multidisciplinary scientists conducting computational and mathematical research to provide the U.S. scientific and public health communities better resources, knowledge, and tools to prepare for, identify and prevent the spread of infectious diseases caused by naturally occurring or intentionally released pathogens, including those relevant to biodefense. The Centers will address four major thematic areas infectious disease research; computational, statistical, and mathematical research; education and outreach; and public health policy. |
