NIGMS has renewed funding for modeling research on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.
Announcing the Round 2 Supplemental award recipients for the MIDAS COVID-19 Urgent Grant Program!
Read about the new Scenario Modeling Hub and how you can participate!
Read about this funding opportunity to support investigative and collaborative research focused on developing and evaluating simulation modeling and systems science to understand and address minority health and health disparities.
The next Conference to Increase Diversity in Mathematical Modeling and Public Health is going online. Apply now!
Is it best to delay the second dose of #COVID19Vaccine?
it depends! on what do you want to achieve (reduce deaths vs reduce transmission), how much virus is circulating and how efficacious your first dose is.
