The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) has reissued the funding opportunity announcement for the Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) for Early Stage Investigators. Some MIDAS members have successfully applied for this award. Find out more about this opportunity!
The Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases (SISMID) at the University of Washington received an R25 grant from NIAID, and will continue for several more years.
The MIDAS Coordination Center announces a new COVID-19 funding program for MIDAS members!
See how this visualization from the New York Times incorporates research by MIDAS members.

Great collaboration with @cosnet_bifi @estebanmoro @nataliexdean @ilongini @betzhallo @SrAleta @mattk7 @apastorepiontti @alex_pentland @marcoajelli @LitvinovaMV @Dmartincc https://twitter.com/cosnet_bifi/status/1290963797633531905
It's great to see our paper on second wave scenarios (very timely!) of #COVID19 out in @NatureHumBehav today. We show that testing work, but only if accompanied by tracing & household quarantine (panel g below). Main at https://rdcu.be/b55RH (see also SM for more scenarios)
“We need to make data sing... We also need better systems to collect and analyze data and a new generation of public health leaders who know how to sift data and know what's important and what's not. The art of data analytics is an art.“
